Bio

Recent developments have shown the significance of topology in physical theories. Michael Berry, Yakir Aharonov, and David Bohm have made pioneering contributions to the study of the implications of geometric and topological effects in physics, opening up new avenues of research. Newly discovered topological states of matter will bring new technology and the creation of new materials, where topology and its implications will contribute to revolutionise modern science.

What I like about my science: Although knot theory has already made a tremendous progress, fundamental aspects of applications of topology to physical sciences remain completely elusive and unexplained. Classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and hydrodynamics share a common geometric and topological framework that I like to explore in full depth.
