    Research Interest 1

    I study the topology of stratified spaces. I have several current projects: i) studying Witt groups of perverse sheaves, ii) developing refinements of homotopy theory which are adapted to stratified spaces, and iii)investigating spaces of stability conditions (in the sense of Bridgeland) on the constructible derived category.
