Research interests

My research is in geometric analysis, that is, I am interested in analysis and differential geometry, and the interplay between both fields. I apply techniques from analysis, including partial differential equations, and metric geometry to problems in (semi-)Riemannian geometry and mathematical general relativity.

Topics I am interested in include:

• Einstein equations (vacuum and coupled to fluids, electromagnetism)
• singularities in general relativity (black holes and naked singularities)
• global and asymptotic behavior of solutions
• nonlinear wave equations and hyperbolic conservation laws
• weak Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry (including metric geometry)

Apart from pure mathematics and mathematical physics I am also interested in mathematical problems arising in geosciences.
