I am currently interested in the appearance of certain integrable differential equations in the context of geometric structures on manifolds. An example is the occurrence of the generalised Chazy equation with parameters k=2/3 and k=3/2 in the study of maximally symmetric bracket-generating rank 2 distributions on 5 manifolds. Selected Publications 1. Flat (2,3,5)-distributions and Chazy's equations. SIGMA 12 (2016), 029, 28 pages, DOI 10.3842/SIGMA.2016.029 2. Generalized Ricci Solitons.
