Research Interests
My interests are primarily in geometric and categorical representation theory. I also enjoy learning about algebraic geometry, homological algebra, and algebraic topology. My advisor is David Ben-Zvi.
During Spring 2012 and part of Summer 2012, I co-organized a learning seminar on categorical representation theory related topics.

Writings
In addition to the notes above, here are some other things I have written:
- Real and quaternionic representations of finite groups. (pdf)
- SU(2) as a double cover of SO(3) and related topics. (pdf)
