My research interest is to understand and classify symmetries of manifolds, mostly surfaces and the circle, sometimes higher dimensional manifolds.
More specifically, I work on (one page research description)
Homomorphisms between mapping class groups and braid groups
Virtual property of Mapping Class groups
Homomorphism between transformation groups such as Homeo(M)
Topological dynamics: group action on manifolds
