Research Programme

My main research interests lie in the area of analytic, topological and geometric methods in group theory with applications in geometry. I have published several results concerning the splitting theory of discrete groups with related results concerning the structure of 3-manifolds. My most recent result in the area is joint work with Aditi Kar in which we derive a strong form of the torus theorem for certain splittings of high dimensional manifolds. My work with Lawrence Reeves laid the foundations for the study of group actions on CAT(0) cube complexes which has been applied by others working on the Baum-Connes conjecture and has come to prominence partly due to the recent results of Haglund and Wise showing that many important groups act on such spaces. This led to an extended study of Johnson’s characterisation of amenability with Jacek Brodzky, Piotr Nowak and Nick Wright. Current and recent projects are outlined below.
