Research

I study discrete groups through the spaces they act on: classifying spaces for families of subgroups, finiteness properties, and the algebraic K-theory predicted by the Farrell–Jones conjecture.

Interests

  • Algebraic topology
  • Algebraic and topological K-theory
  • Classifying spaces for groups
  • Finiteness properties of groups
  • Geometric group theory
I co-organize the Long-distance GGT seminar with Jesús Hernández and Haydee Peruyero.
