Research Interests

I am interested in geometric group theory and geometric topology. In particular, my research concerns right-angled Artin groups, mapping class groups, braid groups, arrangement groups, and quantum representations.

Research Interests

My research lies at the meeting ground of algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry. More precisely, I am primarily interested in various properties of algebraic groups over non-algebraically closed fields, with special focus on local and global fields. I also study linear representations of finitely generated groups using the technique of representation varieties and try to understand the phenomenon of representation rigidity.
