Research Interests

My primary research interests are in the structure and classification of operator algebras and the interaction between operator algebras, groups and dynamics. I study both C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras and am particularly interested in the interplay and transfer of ideas between these classes of operator algebras. Recent work has focused on perturbation and rigidity properties and the structure and classification of subalgebras.
