My research focuses on the Jacobian Conjecture, characteristic classes, and Lipschitz geometry, among which the Jacobian Conjecture gains my greatest interest. I proved the two-dimensional complex Jacobian Conjecture up to degree 104, which remains the best known degree bound to date. This result was recently cited by Alexander Borisov, Ofer Gabber, and Adrian Vasiu in their 175-page paper, ''On Endomorphisms of Affine Spaces and the Jacobian Problem'', published on arXiv. I also developed a new algebraic-geometric and topological approach to the conjecture, including a method for identifying potential counterexamples in high degrees. In characteristic classes, together with collaborators, we proved the Poincaré–Hopf theorem for real singular varieties and developed a new approach to characteristic classes of complex varieties using Lipschitz stratifications. In Lipschitz geometry, we provided a complete bi-Lipschitz classification of semialgebraic surfaces. Plus, in collaboration with a coauthor, I also gave a new proof of the famous Euler formula for convex polyhedra. Details and proofs of these results can be found in my list of publications below.
