research

My research interests are in the fields of coarse geometry and K-theory of C*-algebras. More specifically, I currently work on controlled coarse homologies, 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.
