Research interests:
Geometric group theory, metric geometry, algebraic combinatorics and interactions with adjacent areas
Short summary of current research:
Groups are sets of symmetries of geometric objects.
Based on this philosophy, we examine the interplay between groups and the associated geometries and geometric objects. We investigate the question of how much group theory is encoded in geometry and, conversely, which aspects of the geometric objects are already clearly determined by the group effects on them.
