I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Algebra Group at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), working on the project "Monomorphism categories, finite abelian groups, nilpotent linear operators, and the Birkhoff problem", which is led by Sondre Kvamme and funded by The Research Council of Norway through an FRIPRO Research Project for Young Talents grant.
From September to December 2027, I will be a Junior Fellow at Institut Mittag-Leffler as part of the research programme "Triangulated Categories in Algebra, Combinatorics, Geometry, and Topology".
Research Interests:
Representation theory of quivers and finite dimensional algebras.
Homological algebra.
Combinatorics arising from the above.
Higher category theory.
