Research Interests

My interests broadly lie in the field of low-dimensional geometry and topology.
  1. Hyperbolic Cone Surfaces, i.e., surfaces formed by pasting hyperbolic geodesic triangles and their holonomies.
  2. Mapping Class Group action on Relative Character Varieties of Punctured Surface Groups.
  3. Infinite type surfaces and their Mapping Class Groups.
