Research and teaching interests

  • Tensor categories
  • Representation theory
  • Quantum topology

My research explores tensor categories from both algebraic and topological perspectives. I study modular, super-modular categories and their non-semisimple generalizations, focusing on their invariants such as modular data. These structures play fundamental roles in quantum topology and mathematical physics, particularly in modelling topological phases of matter and topological quantum computation.
