Short presentation
Hi there! I am a postdoc doing research in the areas of string topology, noncommutative geometry and symplectic topology. I also like thinking about TQFTs, categorical invariants in mirror symmetry, Bridgeland stability conditions, the geometry of holomorphic differentials and Toeplitz quantization.
I previously held a postdoc position at IHES, working under the supervision of M. Kontsevich, and got my PhD in Physics from UC Berkeley in 2019, supervised by M. Aganagic and V. Shende.
Keywords
- calabi-yau structures
- higher categories
- mirror symmetry
- noncommutative geometry
- string topology
