Research

My research lies in the fields of Contact and Symplectic Topology. More precisely, I'm very interested in the interplay between the flexible and rigid sides of the field, the topology of the contactomorphism group, Legendrian embedding spaces, etc. I'm also curious about diffeomorphism groups and smooth embedding spaces, and how Contact/Symplectic Topology could help to understand these smooth gadgets and vice versa.
