Current research

My primary interest is in clarifying the topology of Riemann surfaces through the following three infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, (i) the Goldman-Turaev bialgebra, (ii) the associated graded Lie algebra of the Johnson filtration on the Torelli group, and (iii) formal symplectic geometries introduced by Kontsevich. These algebras are connected by (generalized) Magnus expansions of free group.
