Research Interests

My research centres around several intimately related branches of differential geometry: Calabi-Yau metrics, special Lagrangians, and special holonomy manifolds. A common theme is to study physics-inspired partial differential equations (eg. Einstein equation, minimal surface equation) in a geometric context with a wealth of additional structures (eg. complex structure, symplectic structure). In particular, I am interested in the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture, and the Thomas-Yau conjecture.
