Research

I am interested in geometry, topology and their mutual interactions. I think a lot about three-manifolds, Floer theory, spinors, hyperbolic geometry and spectra of operators. I co-organize the Columbia Geometric Topology seminar. My work is partially supported by the NSF grant New directions in monopole Floer homology (DMS-2203498).
