Curriculum Vitae

Research

Interests:Mathematical Physics
I study renormalization theory, mostly from a geometric and combinatoric point of view. The tools I use have applications to other fields such as number theory and non-commutative geometry. When such overlaps happen, I try to solve problems there as well.
