Research Interests

My primary research interests are differential geometry and partial differential equations. I am interested in the limiting properties of the Yang-Mills flow, singularities and deformations of the Yang-Mills equations, the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation, special Lagrangian equations, and mirror symmetry.

My research is funded in part by a grant from the Simons Foundation.

Here's my CV, last updated June, 2019
