I am interested in both disciplinary and educational research.
My disciplinary interests include mathematics physics and combinatorics. In particular, my Ph.D. thesis looked at the phase transition behaviour of long chain polymer models in presence of interactive walls. These models arise naturally in enumerative combinatorics. I have used analytical and numerical tools in enumerative combinatorics to study problems in geometric group theory.
More details regarding my educational interests can be found on my teaching page.
