My Qualifications

2018 PhD in Mathematics, University of Utah (supervisor Dragan Milicic)

2011 Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (honours), Colorado State University (supervisor Jeff Achter)

My Research Activities

My research is in geometric and categorical representation theory. One branch of my research program aims to understand algebraic properties of representations of Lie algebras using D-modules via Beilinson-Bernstein localisation. Another branch of my research program applies categorical and diagrammatic techniques to the study of real group representations.
