Research...
The common theme of most of my research is coupling. Coupling is a powerful technique, with applications in many areas of probability, as well as being an active area of research in its own right. I've also recently started to dabble with ideas concerning random graphs, fish recruitment and network analysis. A brief description of some of the topics which are of particular interest to me at the moment can be found on my research page.
