Sometimes, properties of a fixed hyperbolic surface can be better understood by studying the moduli space that parameterises all hyperbolic structures on a given topological surface.

As a kid, I dreamt of becoming a writer. My most exciting pastime was reading novels; in fact, I would read anything I could find.

I like crossing the imaginary boundaries people set up between different fields - it's very refreshing.

I find it fascinating that you can look at the same problem from different perspectives and approach it using different methods.
