RESEARCH INTERESTS My mathematical interests lie in enumerative geometry and its relation to mathematical physics. The current focus of my research involves using predictions from mirror symmetry to relate Gromov-Witten invariants to other classes of algebro-geometric objects. The work involves al- gebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, combinatorics and mathematical physics.
