Research Interests:
Geometric analysis, in particular curvature flows, and convex geometry. I am also
interested in notions of generalized curvatures,
applications of convexity in hyperbolic space, geometric inequalities, such as isoperimetric-type inequalities, and other extremal problems. I currently supervise four MSc students and one PhD student.
NEWS:
Graduate students and advanced undergraduate students interested in geometric analysis are encouraged to follow the courses of the ISM Discovery School
taking place at Université de
Montréal
from July 28th to August 1st, 2025.
More details, including titles, abstracts and scheduling, are or will be posted at
Interactions between convex geometry and spectral analysis.
Here are some updates.

A new counterexample to Sangwine-Yager's conjecture (with J. Lalonde), Mathematical Inequalities & Applications, 22 (2019),
