Research             TW

I am working in the area of Topology. My main research is concentrated in the study of embedding spaces. I am using both the Vassiliev approach of discriminants and the Goodwilllie-Weiss calculus method. My main collaborators are Pascal Lambrechts, Greg Arone, Ismar Volic, and also Dev Sinha, Paolo Salvatore, Ryan Budney. The study of these spaces is fascinately related to the deformation theory (of operads) developped by M. Kontsevich and Ya. Soibelman.
