Research Interests

My research interests include probabilistic limit theorems, stochastic orderings and other analytic methods and inequalities in probability.  I have worked mostly on Stein's method, a powerful toolkit for obtaining probability approximations in a wide variety of settings.

Most recently, I have been working on expressing dependence between random variables in terms of stochastic orderings.  This has found applications in both probability and information theory
