I am interested in Riemannian geometry, especially on complete (non-compact) manifolds. I have focused part of my work on manifolds with special structure at infinity, such as, for instance, asymptotically flat or asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. Asymptotic invariants, such as the mass, play a large part in my research. This also leads me to keep an eye on geometric aspects of the physical theory of General Relativity, as well as on asymptotically symmetric geometries and the structures of their boundaries at infinity, i.e. parabolic geometries. Conformal and CR geometries, being the most prominent examples of parabolic geometries, naturally stand among my main subjects of interest.
