About
This autumn I have started as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh, working with Alexander Shapiro. The position is moreover associated with Hodge and Maxwell Institutes.
I've just completed my PhD at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, supervised by Professor Kevin McGerty and working in the Algebra research group – my thesis can be found here.
Research interests
My research is in algebra and (geometric) representation theory, more specifically:
quantum toroidal algebras
quantum groups
quantum affine algebras
crystal bases
quiver varieties
and related areas...
