research
My research interests are in the fields of coarse geometry and K-theory of C*-algebras. More specifically, I currently work on uniform K-homology and K-exactness of uniform Roe algebras.
I am also interested in geometric group theory and group C*-algebras. More generally, noncommutative geometry.
