A large part of my research focuses around geometric differential operators (Dirac and Laplace operators) and their spectral theory. In particular I am interested in spectral invariants which may be extracted from the heat kernel (torsion, eta invariants, zeta-determinants, rho invariants).
I am also interested in Noncommutative Geometry a la Connes and I am working on heat invariants in the noncommutative setting. The noncommuative setting exhibits interesting phenomena which are generally not present in the commutative context.
In collaboration with Boris Vertman I have established a work programme on ''spectral geometry, index theory and geometric flows'' in the context singular spaces. One of the main objectives is to establish a heat resp. resolvent expansion for certain Laplace type operators on certain stratified spaces. This would have interesting applications for the understanding of various of the above mentioned spetral invariants.
A second long term project is in operator algebras: I am working on functional analytic problems related to the construction of the celebrated Kasparov product in the unbounded picture of KK-theory.
