Professor Aazami's research area is in differential geometry; in particular, in Lorentzian and Riemannian geometry. He also studies gravitational lensing, which is the bending of light by gravity.
He has taught a variety of courses at Clark, from Honors Calculus to Measure Theory, as well as created two new courses on Quantitative Finance and the Mathematics of Voting and Social Choice. He has also self-published a textbook titled "48 Hours of Honors Calculus."
