Welcome to my personal webpage!

Hello! I am a probabilist. My main research interest lies in problems arsing from mathematical physics. Recently I am working on: boundary effects in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, quasistatic transformation, homogenization, and the well-posedness of PDEs corresponding to these problems.

Key words: interacting particle system, hydrodynamic limit, fluctuation, entropy.
