Research interest: My current research in probability theory focuses on asymptotics of models in the KPZ universality class. In particular, I have been studying the limiting fluctuations of exactly solvable interacting particle systems such as versions of exclusion processes; I have been investigating non-intersecting trajectories of random processes, directed polymer models and random tiling problems, which belong to the family of KPZ class of models. I am also interested in random walks and processes with self-interactions.
Keywords: probability theory, KPZ universality class, growth models, interacting particle systems, random matrix theory, random walks with self-interactions

I am an associate professor at the Department of Stochastics at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME).
Form Feb 2025, I am also a visiting researcher at the HUN-REN Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics.
I am organizer of the following conferences at the Erdős Center:

in the framework of the Simons Semester in Probability and Statistical Physics - 2025 Spring (Jan-June).

I defended my PhD in mathematics in June 2011 under the supervision of Bálint Tóth at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME).
Between Oct 2011 and Sep 2013, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics at the University of Bonn working with Patrik Ferrari.
Since Oct 2013, I have been working at BME and at the MTA-BME Stochastics Research Group as a postdoctoral researcher, as an assistant professor and as an associate professor.
