Department's Pizza Seminar

Research Interests:

I study the existence and/or the uniqueness of closed convex hypersurfaces in Rⁿ⁺¹ with certain properties, usually by looking at the geometric properties of solutions to appropriate PDEs. I am also interested in curvature flows and isoperimetric like inequalities, in particular inequalities which are affine invariant.
