Research Interests:
One of my favorite things to explore is finding ways to create visual representations of complicated algebraic structures. I particularly love the world of algebraic combinatorics, especially when there are connections to cluster algebras and representation theory. Here is my PhD thesis titled "Higher Dimer Models in Cluster Algebras and Categorification of Non-Orientable Surfaces." My thesis defense slides are here!
