His research is in fine properties of random walk and Brownian motion with an emphasis on problems arising in statistical physics. His books include "Intersections of Random Walks," "Introduction to Stochastic Processes," "Conformally Invariant Processes in the Plane," and (with V. Limic) "Random Walk: A Modern Introduction." He was a co-founder of the "Electronic Journal of Probability" and has served as editor-in-chief of "Annals of Probability" and an editor of the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society."
