My primary research areas are in geometric
group theory and
low-dimensional topology.
Specialties: Mapping class groups, relatively hyperbolic
groups, hierarchical hyperbolicity, 3-manifold groups, Teichmuller theory, Artin groups,
asymptotic geometry, quasi-isometric rigidity. I also am interested
in probabilistic combinatorics.
