RESEARCH INTERESTs

Domains of Research:

  • Real and Complex Singularities, Stratifications.
  • Real and Complex Algebraic Geometry.

My main research interests are in real and complex singularities,in stratification theory and in real and complex polynomials.

I am interested in geometric criteria allowing us to tell when we can ignore higher order terms in a weighted (or Newton) Taylor expansion of an analytic map, without changing the topological type defined by it. These can be used to understand the lists of V.I. Arnold and C.T.C. Wall of simple and unimodular germs.

My research aligns with the Faculty of Science Research Strengths - Understanding the Universe, Fundamental Laws of Nature.
