I am a recent graduate from UC Berkeley. Starting Fall 2013, I am a Boas Assistant Professor at Northwestern University. My research is broadly centered on quantum field theory — my interests include category theory, representation theory, homological algebra, algebraic topology, Poisson geometry, and theoretical physics.
