Research

I am interested generally in actions of groups on manifolds, and the rigidity phenomena that may arise. A popular instance of this is the Zimmer Programme, which aims to classify that possible actions that lattices in higher rank semisimple groups can have on manifolds, using tools and techniques from algebra, geometry, and dynamics.

Occasionally I am also interested in studying group algebras and their analytic and cohomological properties.
