Research Interests:
C0 symplectic geometry, symplectic dynamics, area-preserving homeomorphisms.
Here is a, somewhat outdated, brief introductory talk on C0 symplectic geometry and two of the most well-known problems in the field.
My research is supported by ERC Starting Grant No. 851701 : homeomorphisms in symplectic topology and dynamics (HSD).
