		About me: Jan 2023: I am starting a postdoc at the University of Waterloo, Mathematics Department My research mentors are Michael Brannan and Matthew Kennedy During Sep- Dec 2022 I was a visiting researcher at Universität der Saarlandes during the Focus semester in quantum information visiting Prof. Moritz Weber I was a postdoc at Texas A&M University, Mathematics Department (Aug 2022- Dec 2023) My research mentor at Texas A&M is Eric Rowell I received my PhD degree from OSU in 2021.

• I study quantum symmetries via unitary tensor categories, C*-algebras, and subfactors, in the disciplines of operator algebras, category theory, and quantum algebra.

• Quantum symmetries is an interdisciplinary branch of mathematical physics that intersects fields such as non-commutative geometry, quantum groups and topology, with applications in conformal and topological quantum field theory, quantum information, and theoretical condensed matter physics.
