Mathematical interests

  • Non/commutative tensor-triangular geometry
  • Modular representation theory of finite groups
  • Intersections between representation theory and tensor-triangular geometry
  • Invertible objects/Picard groups
  • Permutation modules

Here is an informal summary (for experts in the field) of things I’m currently thinking about as of February 2026.
