Research Interests: My general research interests lie in the areas of geometric group theory, geometric and algebraic topology, discrete geometry, and algebraic combinatorics. My specific research interests lie in the topics of L^2-(co)homology, CAT(0) geometry and group boundaries, Coxeter Groups, the (weighted) Singer Conjecture, the Strong Atiyah Conjecture, discrete Four-Vertex Theorems, growth series, and exploring new Hilbert-type series for graded rings.
