Biography

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Sydney, working with Oded Yacobi and Geordie Williamson. I completed my PhD in 2022 at the Australian National University under the supervision of Anthony Licata. My research interests lie at the intersection of representation theory, category theory, topology, and dynamics. Specifically, I am interested in Coxeter Artin-Tits groups, quivers and algebras, tensor fusion categories, and Bridgeland stability conditions. I have several publications that explore these topics in detail, including my work on fusion-equivariant stability conditions and Morita duality, which was published in Mathematische Zeitschrift in 2025.
