My current and planned research divides into three areas: the differential topology of loop spaces, the properties of two-vector bundles, and operations in higher K-theories. This research lies in the areas of differential topology, differential geometry, and algebric topology and it has further application to mathematical physics. In addition to the techniques of the areas already mentioned, my research has a heavy reliance on functional analysis.

I have been working on the first of the three areas since my Ph.D. whilst the latter two have been developed more recently. My research into the properties of two-vector bundles is in collaboration with Nils Baas and Tore Kro of NTNU. My study of operations in higher K--theories is in collaboration with Sarah Whitehouse of Sheffield University and is currently part of an EPSRC-funded project, GR/S76823/01.
