About me

I received my Ph.D. in 2015 from the Ohio State University, Columbus under the supervision of Henri Moscovici. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Geometry and Mathematical Physics group, at SISSA, Trieste.

Research Interests

I study noncommutative geometry developed by Alain Connes and many other mathematicians around the 80’s, with applications in differential geometry and topology. The basic tools include K-theory, cyclic cohomology, Morita equivalence, operator-theoretic index theorems and Hopf algebra symmetry. Global analysis, especially tools like pseudo-differential calculus for studying heat kernel expansions, is heavily involved in my current research.
