RESEARCH INTERESTS
My primary area of research includes low dimensional topology, particularly 4 -4-dimensional topology, geometry, and gauge theory. These have been dynamic fields for the past 25 years and have close ties with many other areas of research: geometric analysis, mathematical physics, string theory, and knot theory are just a few. I am currently Professor Emeritus, still lost in dimension 4, with scuba gear and piano at hand.
