Research Interests

With Susan Montgomery and Richard Ng after presenting at AMS Special Session Honoring Earl Taft October 2022

My research interests lie in representation theory. Especially the representations of semisimple Hopf algebras. My research program centers this rich field and utilizes many ideas from traditional group representation theory while employing tools from combinatorics and coding in Python software. My advisor, Dr. Susan Montgomery is a pioneer in this field and my current interests involve extending her work.
