My main areas of research are hyperbolic geometry, Kleinian groups and the geometry of representation varieties. I am particularly interested in Teichmüller geometry, geometric/spectral identities, quasifuchsian groups, convex hulls of Kleinian groups, Hausdorff dimension of limit sets, renormalized volume, Patterson-Sullivan theory and generalizations of the Weil-Petersson metric to representation varieties.

Wolpert formulae for the Poisson bracket of Hitchin Length Functions
In this preprint, we use Goldman's formula for the Poisson bracket of invariant functions to derive formulae for the Poisson bracket of length functions on Hitchin space. In particular we derive the formulae for the first and second derivatives. These generalize formulae of Wolpert given in the Teichmuller case for the Weil-Petersson Poisson bracket. We use the formula to prove convexity results for spectral length functions along the associated Hamiltonian vector fields. We also derive a formula for the Poincare dual of the Hamiltonian of the Poisson bracket of two length functions.
