Research interests
Here is a non-exhaustive list of topics I'm interested in:
- Constructive approaches to 2D conformal field theory (CFT)
- Segal's axioms / functorial CFT, the geometry of the Virasoro algebra
- Geometric quantization of (infinite-dimensional) moduli spaces of bordered Riemann surfaces
- Conformal invariants, geometric function theory
- Generalizations of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) measures
- Universality of critical phenomena in statistical mechanics
