I am Assistant Professor in Mathematics at Ohio University, Athens, OH. Before that, I was PostDoc (non-tenure track Assistant Professor) in Mathematics at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, where my supervisor is Vaughan Jones. My research interests are Operator Algebras, in particular Subfactors, Algebraic Quantum Field Theory, in particular Conformal Field Theory and Tensor Categories. I am principal investigator of NSF Grant DMS-1821162 Quantum Symmetries and Conformal Nets (former NSF Grant DMS-1700192).
