I am an RTG postdoc at Michigan State University, working with Effie Kalfagianni. I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at University of California, Riverside during 2021-2024 and worked with Peter Samuelson. I received my Ph.D. in 2021 from The Ohio State University and was advised by Thomas Kerler.
My research interests are primarily in representation theory and low-dimensional topology from the perspective of quantum algebra and quantum topology. I am especially interested in the representations theory of non-semisimple quantum groups and their topological applications, as well as categorification and higher representation theory.
I enjoy discussing mathematics with Linh Huynh, who does research on some combinations of probability theory and stochastic processes, statistical inference, numerical optimization, mathematical biology, and complex systems.
