Research interests

My work deals mainly with monodromy Galois actions on geometric objects and their arithmetic invariants. In particular I am interested in the geometry of abelian varieties and their arithmetic reduction properties as semi-stability and the Faltings height and also in the moduli spaces of curves and their étale-homotopic Galois theory.
