Research Descriptions

My current research interests are in the general areas of algebraic geometry and mathematical
physics. More specifically I am working on Gromov–Witten theory and its relations
with and applications to birational geometry, Hodge theory, K-theory, symplectic topology,
integrable systems, representation theory, and mirror symmetry.
