Research Interests
I am interested in representation theory, algebraic geometry, and their applications.
Mathematics Education
I studied the interaction between algebraic geometry and representation theory at the mathematics department of the University of Chicago. In my PhD thesis, I constructed a new commutator and abelianization of an algebraic group, motivated by the theory of character sheaves. My Master’s thesis explored the relationship between Weil representations and symplectic K-theory. My advisor was Vladimir Drinfeld, a Field’s Medal winner from Russia.
I started my undergraduate studies at the University of Waterloo in mathematics, computer science and physics. I quickly realized that I was passionate about math, and decided to focus on it. The professor who influenced me the most during my undergraduate years was Brian Forrest. I worked as undergraduate research assistant for Cam Stewart and Ken Davidson.
