Broadly, my area of interest is algebraic topology and stable homotopy theory. In this field, we study spaces using algebraic tools, such as cohomology theories. We also study the cohomology theories themselves and the relationships between them. I am particularly interested in the equivariant case, where the cohomology theories are designed to work with the action of a symmetric group.

On a more specific level, I study the algebra arising in equivariant stable homotopy theory and the structure of the equivariant stable category. This includes phenomena such as "norm multiplications" which come from equivariant commutative ring spectra. I am also interested in ways of building equivariant spectra from algebraic data, and in understanding to what extent we can think of algebra as determining such spectra.

A second area of interest is K-theory, both topological and algebraic, and cohomology theories connected to K-theory. For example, I am interested in the structural properties of algebraic K-theory constructions. Current work also involves algebraic strucure on cohomology theories related to K-theory, such as topological coHochschild homology.
