Research summary

Christopher Janjigian works in probability theory, focusing on random growth models and disordered systems such as last-passage percolation, directed polymers, and random walks in random environments. This research studies how randomness shapes the geometry of optimal paths and interfaces, connecting to statistical mechanics and models like the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. The work is highly theoretical and mathematical, aimed at proving rigorous results about the structure and long-term behavior of these random systems.
