About

My research interests are in the algebraic aspects of 2D conformal field theory: modular tensor categories, vertex operator algebras, Hopf algebras, etc.

In May 2017, I graduated from IIT, Kanpur with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Scientific Computing. I then spent the first three years of my graduate studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I received my PhD from Rice University in May 2023, advised by Dr. Chelsea Walton. After my PhD, I spent three years as a postdoc at the University of Alberta, where I was guided by Terry Gannon and Thomas Creutzig.
