I'm in the School of Mathematics at the University of Bristol, UK. I also have affiliations with the Mathematics Departments at the Universities of British Columbia and Washington, and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
Research Interests: Probability theory, with emphasis on discrete spatial models, including cellular automata, percolation, matching, coupling.
