My research interests
I work at the intersection of analysis and geometry in non-smooth settings, in particular on mappings with non-smooth domain and/or target (e.g. quasiregular and BLD-maps), and spaces with synthetic curvature bounds (e.g. Alexandrov and RCD spaces).
My background is in Sobolev type spaces over metric measure spaces, which I use along with metric currents and other tools from analysis on metric spaces to understand geometric and topological properties of the maps and spaces involved.
Recently I have focused on homological constraints on BLD-maps and Plateau-type problems on spaces with a quadratic isoperimetric inequality, both of which can be seen in the more general context of parametrization problems of non-smooth spaces. Energy minimization in homotopy classes of maps is a specific method to study maps and the information they transfer, but more generally I want to understand the connections (or lack of) between analysis, geometry and topology on the underlying spaces.
