RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am interested in discrete differential geometry, specifically topics involving fine structures such as circle packings and patterns. I am interested in the rigidity, deformation, and approximation properties of those structures. Now I am working on the intersection of Finite Element Exterior Calculus (FEEC) and discrete differential geometry.

Additionally, I am intrigued by statistical physics models on planar graphs and their embeddings or immersions.
