Short presentation

My research is mainly in probability theory, in particular combinatorial probability (mainly random graphs and related topics); occasionally I also do research in analysis, which was my original field.

I have written 4 books and over 300 journal papers. See my list of publications, which also includes a list of my coauthors in alphabetic order. (The automatically generated list below is not complete.)

See also the list of some of my talks.
