I am a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Professor of Probability, and Director of Prob-L@B in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath. I am also chair of the department's Equality and Diversity Committee. I am interested in branching processes, random graphs, noise sensitivity, the parabolic Anderson model, mixing times, Brownian motion, random walks, fragmentation processes, percolation, and martingales.

My email address is mattiroberts {at} gmail.com.
