I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Mathematics at the University of Southern California
advised by Aaron Lauda. I am partially supported by
Simons Dissertation Fellowship in Mathematics and
Simons Collaboration on New Structures in Low-Dimensional Topology.
I work at the interface of higher representation theory, low-dimensional topology, and quantum information, with interests in new structures and the interplay amongst these fields.
Currently I am mostly thinking about foams, structures on categorified quantum groups, (spectral) Khovanov homology, and its application to quantum computing.
