I'm a fourth year PhD student in mathematics at Indiana University Bloomington, advised by Noah Snyder. Previously, I got my BS in mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I was mentored by Jiuzu Hong.

I am broadly interested in quantum algebra and operator algebras. More specifically, I am intrigued by C*-algebraic approaches to quantum group representation theory and the structure of their tensor categories.
