Limited Term Lecturer Research Research Areas: Topology Research Interests: My research interests are low-dimensional topology, symplectic topology and contact topology. In particular, I am working on classification problems of smooth and symplectic 4-manifolds, exotic smooth structures on small 4-manifolds and symplectic fillingsof contact 3-manifolds.
