Research Interests

I study algebraic topology and within that stable homotopy theory. A big part of my research interest lies in understanding the stable homotopy groups of spheres, which falls under the subject called chromatic homotopy theory.
 
The nilpotence and periodicity theorems of Hopkins, Devinatz and Smith implies that stable homotopy groups of spheres exhibit periodic patterns. In particular, I study v_n--self-maps of finite cell-complexes, a technique for detecting these periodic patterns. 
 
My interest also lies in exploring and developing the connection between chromatic homotopy theory and some of the modern variants of the stable homotopy theory, such as equivariant stable homotopy theory and motivic stable homotopy theory.
