Areas of Specialization:
I am currently working in Alexandrov spaces, of curvature bounded either above or below; Riemannian geometry, especially Riemannian manifolds with boundary; classical geometry, especially locally convex hypersurfaces; and applications of metric geometry and convexity to robotics.
