I study mathematical aspects of conformal field theories via vertex operator algebras and their representation theory. I'm currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Hamburg in the collaborative research center "Higher Structures, Moduli Spaces and Integrability". Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University working with James Tener, and at Université Laval working with Michael Lau.

Recently, I've been studying the representation theory of logarithmic conformal field theories described by fractional admissible level affine VOAs and their associated W-algebras. In particular, I'm interested in the techniques known broadly as "inverse quantum hamiltonian reduction." I am also interested in the relationship between VOAs and conformal nets as axiomatic descriptions of conformal field theory; and the VOAs and related structures that arise in higher-dimensional quantum field theories.
