Expertise

I am interested in various problems in representation theory using tools from combinatorics, category theory and algebraic geometry.

Some main directions of my work include:

  • algebraic and combinatorial structures arising from mirabolic/exotic flag varieties;
  • categorification of Heisenberg algebras, via towers of algebras and planar diagrammatics;
  • twisted generalized Weyl algebras.
