I am mainly working on 4-dimensional gauge theory and its applications to geometry and topology. A major part of my research activity focuses on finding new problems in dimension four inspired from other dimensions, and solving the problems using gauge-theoretical techniques. Recently, I studied a foundation of gauge theory for families of 4-manifolds, and applied it to extract differences between homotopy groups of the homeomorphism and diffeomorphism groups of 4-manifolds.
