Degrees
Yale University, Ph.D.University of Toronto, B.A.
Expertise
Representation theory. Calabi-Yau geometry. String theory.Profile
Please visit my new faculty profile page.
My research lies at the interface between algebra, geometry, and physics. I study the interplay between representations theory, Calabi-Yau geometry and string theory. Intuitions and insights from one theory can often manifest themselves in a powerful and sometimes surprising ways to help solve problems in another theory. Webpage
