Research Interests:

My research is in the field of geometric analysis and currently focuses on the theory of asymptotically flat and asymptotically hyperbolic spaces, which are significant in the mathematical theories of classic and quantum relativity. My research interests include the application of analytic methods to Riemannian manifolds and the relationship between partial differential equations on manifolds and certain geometric quantities. In the context of conformal geometry, I am particularly interested in the relation between the geometry and topology of conformally compact spaces and the geometry of their conformal infinities.
