General Relativity

Regular GR seminars are hosted at the Sorbonne Université (LJLL) and at the University of Muenster (WWU). 

Research Interests

I am interested in the analysis of non-linear Partial Differential Equations in General Relativity. Specifically, my work concentrates around the following two directions:

1. Islands of stability and the constrution of time-periodic solutions to Einstein's equations near the Anti-de-Sitter spacetime.

2. Unique continuation for asymptotically Anti-de-Sitter spacetimes.
