Research Interests

My main interests lie in the study of conformal field theory, and more generally algebra and geometry inspired by or derived from mathematical physics.  I am currently working on the modular tensor category description of certain aspects of conformal field theory, investigating a possible geometric interpretation of the N=2 minimal models via their chiral rings, and have recently developed an interest in the direction of quantum information theory.
