Research Interests

His research focuses on free probability, where free independence replaces classical stochastic independence, particularly in quantum probability and large-dimensional random matrices. He explores asymptotic phenomena and applications in operator algebras, self-decomposable distributions, and Lévy processes.

Teaching

Since 2006, he has taught advanced courses in probability theory, stochastic calculus, and mathematical analysis.

Publications

His recent work includes studies on freely self-decomposable laws, Lévy mixing, and free Gamma distributions, alongside contributions to honor volumes like The Fascination of Probability, Statistics and their Applications (2016) and tributes to Uffe Haagerup.
