Areas of Interest
My main research area is abstract algebra; more specifically linear algebra, lie algebras, vertex algebras and representation theory. In representation theory, we aim to find concrete, usable representations of abstract mathematical spaces so that they can be applied to physics, chemistry, engineering, and other areas. In my current project, I am applying Lie theory to machine learning algorithms.
