I am currently supported by the Simons Collaboration on New Structures in Low-Dimensional Topology.
Broadly speaking, my research is in quantum algebra and mathematical physics. My past work focused on the study and classification of different families of braided and modular tensor categories, and connections to 2- and 3-dimensional TQFTs. I am currently particularly interested in nonsemisimple modular tensor categories/TQFTs.
I was awarded the WiSE Merit Award for Excellence in Postdoctoral Research by the Women in Science and Engineering program at the University of Southern California in 2026.
I was awarded the 2025 AWM Dissertation Prize by the Association for Women in Mathematics.
I received the Centurion Award by the University of Oregon in 2024.
