Research interests:

I am currently working on U(1) and U(1)xU(1)x...xU(1) Chern-Simons and BF theories on manifolds with boundary under the supervision of Prof. Frank Thuillier. More specifically, using the tools of Deligne-Beilinson cohomology, we construct manifold invariants from the partition function of our theories and try to relate it with some Reshetikhin-Turaev-like invariants through the use of reciprocity formulas. In general I am interested in low-dimensional topology and TQFTs.
