About Me

I am currently a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds working on the EPSRC grant "Combinatorial Representation Theory: Discovering the Interfaces of Algebra with Geometry and Topology." My research focuses on (higher) tensor categories, including their applications to understand topological and fracton order and quantum symmetry in mathematics and condensed matter physics.

From 2022-2025, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at Vanderbilt University working with Dietmar Bisch. Before coming to Vanderbilt, I completed my PhD at The Ohio State University under the supervision of David Penneys.
