Areas of expertise • Optical and wave physics, focused on the geometric and topological structures formed by interference, diffraction and polarization.
• Theoretical physics, especially relativistic field theory.
• Knot Theory, and physical realizations.
• Mathematical Methods of Physics, mainly based on geometric, linear or analytic techniques.
Media experience I have given interviews about my own research and that of others, from knotted light beams and invisibility cloaks to the possibility of Viking navigation using the polarization of the sky.
