Research Overview

My research is related to the geometry and topology of manifolds with special holonomy and calibrated geometry, analysis of deformation and elliptic theory on noncompact manifolds, high dimensional complex geometry and singularity theory, supersymmetry and Calabi-Yau manifolds, special Lagrangian submanifolds and the applications in mirror symmetry, associative and coassociative submanifolds of G_2 manifolds and the connections with M-Theory.
