Research interest

Analysis in metric spaces, in particular quasiconformal, quasi-symmetric and quasi-Möbius geometry. (Gromov-)Hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, geometric analysis and low-dimensional topology. Besides pure mathematics I am interested in mathematical physics, in particular the geometry of space-time and string theory. My current research centers on the study of the conformal horizon of de Sitter space in general relativity with a positive cosmological constant and in particular the study of gravitational waves in this setting.
