Research interests

My primary area of research is geometric group theory.

My research so far has focused on questions around the dynamics of the outer automorphism group of a free group, the structure of trees in the boundary of Outer space, and algebraic laminations on the free group.

Additionally, I have an interest in symbolic dynamics, ergodic theory, and non-standard analysis, with a view toward applications to dynamics of group actions.
