1. Geometric Measure Theory 
2. Calculus of Variations
3. Minimal surfaces
4. Optimal transport

My research focuses on Geometric Measure Theory and Calculus of Variations. Recently, I studied the singularities of area minimizing currents, the stability and regularity in branched transport, the structure of singular measures, and the differentiability of Lipschitz functions in metric measure spaces.
