SHORT BIO: I am a postdoc at the KdV Institute / University of Amsterdam with Jasper Stokman. I used to be a postdoc at University of Alberta with Manish Patnaik and before that at University of Queensland with Masoud Kamgarpour. Before this I was at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics in Jerusalem where my mentor was David Kazhdan and during 2016-2017 I was at the Max Planck Institute in Bonn. I graduated in 2016 from Stanford University where I was a student of Daniel Bump.

RESEARCH: My research is in representation theory. Some keywords: representation theory of p-adic groups, Hecke algebras, metaplectic groups, quantum groups, quantum symmetric pairs, Lie (super)algebras, algebraic combinatorics and special functions, integrable lattice models and the Yang-Baxter equation/reflection equation, quantum invariants, polynomial functors, categorification.

An old poster on representation theory of p-adic groups and quantum affine groups/symmetric pairs: poster.

SEMINARS: I am organizing a workshop on the representation theory of p-adic groups and related topics. 

I was a co-organizer of the conference From E6 to double affine E60 in honor of Eric Opdam's birthday; University of Amsterdam

I am currently co-organizing the WAYTA seminar, locally at University of Amsterdam.  

GNTRT: I used to organize organizing the Geometry, Number Theory and Representation Theory seminar at University of Alberta. The focus of the first part of the seminar will be on the representation theory of p-adic groups and Hecke algebras. 

WiSe: I used to organize the What is ...? seminar at UQ. It is currently being organized by Anna Puskas and Masoud Kamgarpour. 

Conference: Ole Warnaar and I organized a conference on integrable systems. You can find slides and youtube videos of the talks on the conference webpage.

TEACHING AND LEARNING SEMINARS: 

I taught Vector Calculus at Amsterdam University College.

I taught Calculus 2 at University of Alberta in 2021.  

I taught a reading course on Linear Algebraic Groups following Springer's book at UQ.

I co-taught Advanced Algebra (Math 4301) at UQ in Semester 2, 2019. Homeworks and syllabus can be found on learn.uq.edu.au

Seminar on p-adic loop groups: I organized a seminar on p-adic loop groups. The syllabus is here. 

QFT seminar: I organized a seminar on lattice models and applications at UQ in the first semester of 2019. The syllabus, program and some lecture notes can be found here. 

STUDENTS: 

I am a co-adviser with Mikhail Isachenkov and Jasper Stokman for Tjardo Grotendorst's master thesis. The thesis deals with Deligne categories, Schur Weyl dualities and applications to CFT. 

I was a co-adviser with Anna Puskas for Julianne Cai's honours thesis. The topic is Hecke algebras and p-adic groups.  

I have mentored Gavrilo Sipka during a vacation research summer project. The project dealt with fusion categories and quantum groups at a root of unity. You can find more info about the project and the report that Gavrilo wrote here.
