About me
I am currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Wake Forest University. I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in 2015. I had postdoc positions at IMPA/UFRJ in Brazil, the University of Oklahoma, and Michigan State University, USA.
My CV can be found here.
Research Interests
Smooth ergodic theory for flows with singularities.
Statistical properties of partially hyperbolic systems: existence and uniqueness of equilibrium measures, large deviation properties, decay of correlations.
Limit theorems in deterministic and random dynamical systems: escape rates, hitting times statistics, extreme value distributions, central limit theorem, and other limit theorems.
Entropy theory and its relations with various topological structures.
My Ph.D. Student
2020 Connor Davis, University of Oklahoma (co-advised with Alexander Grigo).
