Research

-My main research interests are in "quantum mathematics". In particular, I think about tensor categories, operator algebras, higher categories, and representation theory. Questions I am interested in are typically motivated by applications in mathematical physics.

-My research is supported by NSF Grant DMS-2100531 (previously 1901082).
