Research, publications and preprints:

My research interests include motivic homotopy theory, in particular homotopy of algebraic groups and torsor classification, computations of group homology for linear groups relevant for K-theory (in particular of elliptic curves), and the theory of motives (as applied to number theory or to geometric representation theory). At this point, my favourite questions revolve around the relations between motivic cohomology, group homology and scissors congruences in Hilbert's third problem.

More recently, I've been interested in Chow-Witt theory and its applications to refined enumerative geometry as developed by Jesse Kass, Kirsten Wickelgren and Marc Levine.

Lectures on motivic cohomology, group homology and scissors congruences at the Euler Institute, St. Petersburg, September 2018.

I sometimes post questions or answers on MathOverflow, see my profile.
