Research Interests

I am interested in mapping class groups, geodesic currents, Teichmuller theory and curve complex. My current works are pseudo-Anosov elements of mapping class group, especially ones equipped with least dilatations.

My advisor: Christopher Leininger

Papers

The asymptotic behavior of least pseudo-Anosov dilatations. Geometry & Topology 13 (2009) 2253-2278.
My thesis.

Conferences & Talks
