My research interests are in the field of geometric structures on manifolds and discrete subgroups of Lie groups. I am particularly interested in
affine and hyperbolic geometry, and their interplay. My current projects involve affine manifolds,
pseudo-hyperbolic manifolds, symplectic manifolds, and infinite-type surfaces. If you would like to read more about my past and
current research, as well as some future directions I find interesting, you can find my research statement here.
