Research Interests
My research in mathematics concerns algebraic topology. More specifically, stable and
unstable homotopy theory, infinite loop spaces and K-theory. I am especially interested
in applying homotopy theory to problems arising from different areas of mathematics
such as geometry, topology and algebraic geometry and also to problems arising in the
mathematical aspects of string theory. With this point of view, in the past few years
I have been trying to understand moduli spaces of flat connections over surfaces, spaces
of homomorphisms in Lie groups
and problems in twisted K-theory and orbifold theory.
