About

My research interests are Hopf algebras, tensor categories and vertex operator algebras. I am on the job market for positions starting in fall 2026.


I received my PhD from Rice University in May 2023, advised by Dr. Chelsea Walton. I spent the first three years of my graduate life at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Earlier, in May 2017, I graduated from IIT, Kanpur with a Bachelors in Mathematics and Scientific Computing.
