CV

Hi, I am an EPSRC postdoctoral fellow in the School of MSP at Newcastle University. Previously I was a PhD student in the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds, supervised by Professor Paul Martin.

Broadly speaking, I am interested in algebraic structures which appear at the interface between mathematical physics (espeically (integrable) lattice models in statistical mechanics and topological quantum systems), representation theory and low-dimensional topology. Currently, my research concerns diagram algebras/categories and their representation theory.

Very often, I solve problems in algebra and topology by combinatorial and algorithmic methods and like to program using various software, such as python and mathematica, to perform and manage large calculations.

Previously, I have studied integrability (mostly solvability in lattice models) through the lense of the Yang-Baxter equation and related algebraic structures such as quantum groups. During this I developed a fondness for q-special functions :).

I completed a PhB with first class honours at the Australian National University in December 2021. My honours thesis was supervised by Professor Vladimir Mangazeev.
