Administration During the academic year 2016-2017 I am head of the Geometry & Analysis group.
Research Mathematical General Relativity I am interested in a wide range of topics including asymptotics of the gravitational field, global properties of spacetime,  conformal methods,  nonlinear stability of solutions to the Einstein field equations, invariant characterisations of spacetimes and their initial data sets, numerical construction of initial data sets and global numerical evaluations of black hole spacetimes. Computer-based General Relativity I am interested in the implementation of computer algebra-based numerical simulations of spacetimes with special emphasis to the evaluation of their global structure. Transformation optics and electromagnetics I am interested in the design of cloaking and illusion devices for arbitrary surfaces.
