My primary research area is equivariant homotopy theory. I like to study equivariant analogues of algebraic objects and apply this knowledge to do computations. For example, part of my thesis work was on Mackey fields, an equivariant analogue of fields, which led to a new computation of another equivariant object called twisted topological Hochschild homology. I also study homotopical combinatorics, for this I use combinatorial objects such as transfer systems to study properties and structures within equivariant homotopy theory.
