I am an Assistant Professor at Baylor University. I obtained my Ph.D. at the University of Bonn and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn under the supervision of Catharina Stroppel in July 2017. Before moving to Baylor in August 2026, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of South Alabama, a Limited Term Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia, and a Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne in Australia.


Research Interests

  • Geometric & Combinatorial Representation Theory
  • Categorification
  • Low-Dimensional Topology & Topological Quantum Field Theory

I am supported by NSF Grant DMS-2532878 LEAPS-MPS: Categorification in Algebra and Topology (2025-2027).
