My undergraduate studies in mathematics and theoretical physics were completed in 2022 at the Australian National University (ANU). My honours thesis was supervised by Bai-Ling (Bryan) Wang, and covered the geometric quantisation of Chern-Simons theory and the construction of the Jones polynomial.
After completing my undergraduate studies, I worked as a consulting analyst for the biosecurity division of the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment. Eventually I decided to return to mathematics, and am currently completing my PhD at the University of Melbourne where I am supervised by David Ridout. Here my work focused on combining quantum hamiltonian reduction (QHR) and inverse reduction (IQHR) to study representations of affine VOAs and their related W-algebras.
