My main areas of expertise are probability theory and statistical physics.
My theoretical work is on random matrices, stochastic calculus, diffusion processes, statistics, Gaussian multiplicative chaos and their scale invariance properties.
I have also developed quantitative methods using random matrix tools (e.g. singular value decomposition, principal regression analysis, etc) to identify hidden patterns in noisy real-world financial data sets, including daily and intraday stock returns in financial markets.
