I obtained my PhD in mathematics from Stanford University in June 2008. My doctoral advisor is Richard Schoen. After spending the summer as a Clay Liftoff Fellow, I moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a CLE Moore Instructor. Except for a leave in the academic year 2009/2010 that I spent at Monash University and the Albert Einstein Institute, I remained at MIT until January 2012. I spent the next three years as an Assistant Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich.
Since March 2015, I have been Full Professor and Chair of Global Analysis and Differential Geometry at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna.I am a geometric analyst. I apply tools from the geometric calculus of variations, and develop new such tools, to tackle problems that arise in the theory of general relativity.
