I am interested in algebraic geometry, representation theory, low-dimensional topology, number theory and mathematical physics.

Currently, the main focus of my research is in harmonic analysis on p-adic groups and how it is influenced by so called braid homology theories. I also care about the related arithmetic geometry. This comes close to some "physical mathematics" like 3d SUSY QFTs and string theory, sometimes featuring in my research. Some other (math) things I'm thinking about are double affine Hecke algebras, elliptic cohomology, and three-manifold invariants.

My research is supported by the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.
