Portrait of me.

I am a PhD student in the Math Department at UC Berkeley. My current research focuses on algebraic geometry and its relationship with topological quantum field theory.

My advisor is Constantin Teleman.

Current Projects

  1. With Constantin Teleman and Colleen Delaney, I am studying the behavior of chiral rings of 3d N=4 gauge theories when the gauge group is disconnected.
  2. With Daigo Ito, I am studying tensor products on derived categories of coherent sheaves in the context of homological mirror symmetry for toric varieties.
