My research focuses on developments of differential geometry, both theoretical and with applications, in particular, to mathematical physics.
My topics of research include symplectic and Poisson geometry, Lie theory of algebroids and groupoids, as well as their many applications to quantization, (quantum) field theories and geometric mechanics.
