Demetre P Kazaras, Phillip Griffiths Assistant Research Professor

I study the scalar curvature of Riemannian manifolds and questions in General Relativity. The tools involved include geometric PDE, minimal surfaces, spinors, and algebraic topology.

Please note: Demetre has left the Mathematics department at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date.
