Research Interests
I study problems in geometric analysis and geometric measure theory. I am particularly interested in the regularity of minimal surfaces and mean curvature flow. Minimal surfaces are mathematical models of static soap films, and like their real-world analogues will not in general be smooth. A lot of my research studies the behavior of minimal surfaces near their singularities, and the structure of the singular set itself.
