Research interests
My primary work revolves around the existence of Laplacians, Dirichlet forms, and diffusions on fractal spaces. In particular I am interested in hierarchical but not self-similar fractals. Beyond existential questions I am interested in the properties of the spectrum of the Laplacians and how that relates to mathematical physics-inspired questions about the fractals themselves. Recently I have also become interested in percolation on self-similar graphs and fractals as well as p-adic function theory.
