Research interests

I work on differential geometry and geometric analysis. I am particularly interested in geometry related with special holonomy and calibrated submanifolds, geometric flows including Lagrangian mean curvature flow and the G₂-Laplacian flow, as well as gauge theory, typically in higher dimensions, and geometric problems arising from theoretical physics, such as M-Theory and heterotic String Theory.
