My advisor is Stephen Bigelow. My research interests are broadly in quantum algebra, operator algebras, and low-dimensional topology. My thesis is on subfactor planar algebras, which is a subject with connections to a variety of mathematics including tensor categories, knot theory, subfactors, mathematical physics, and representation theory.

I particularly like topics related to the following:
