My research interest
I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Andriy Haydys. My research interest is in the intersection of geometry and functional analysis. Namely, geometric properties often are formulated in partial differential equations. At the same time the behaviour of these PDE's can only be understand by studing the geometry. I focus myself mostly on gauge theory and in the study of manifolds with special holonomy. For example, in my PhD I constructed families of examples 4 dimensional, non-complete, Hyperkähler manifolds with non-maximal volume growth.
Other interests
In my free-time I like to tinker with computers and electronics. For example, I disassembled a computer screen and I added a one-way mirror in front of it. Using a Raspberry Py mini computer I displayed in this mirror a clock and news feed. I can manage my mirror with an app over the whole world and all the animations are hardware accelerated. For new and weird ideas I am always open for a chat.
