Research interests
My research is in geometry, topology and applications in the life sciences. I am currently working on the following topics:
- topological data analysis and computational topology
- topological genomics, applications in viral evolution (coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) and cancer research
- bounded cohomology and simplicial volume
- Higgs bundle moduli spaces, harmonic maps and representation varieties
- geometry of special functions (polylogarithms, hypergeometric functions)
I am a member of the KIT Center MathSEE and the DFG Priority Program Geometry at Infinity.
