Research

I'm interested in the areas of gauge theory and symplectic geometry. For my thesis, I am working with "gauged holomorphic curves" - the study of these objects combines ideas from the moduli space of connections and those from J-holomorphic curves. Most of my thesis is contained in the paper Yang-Mills heat flow on gauged holomorphic maps.
