Research

Representation Theory Research
My undergraduate and graduate math theses at the University of Virginia were advised by Dr. You Qi. I studied Tannaka Duality in categories of modules of Hopf algebras. I then attempted to use the categories of modules of quantum groups to construct topological invariants of 4-dimensional manifolds.


Dark Matter Research
I researched dark matter at UVA with Dr. Xiaochao Zheng and Dr. Alexandre Deur. I studied the correlation between the ellipticity of elliptical galaxies and the dark matter content of elliptical galaxies. Our article is published in the Monthly Notices Royal Astronomical Society and we received funding through the INGRASSIA Family Scholarship.


Nanomagnets Research
I worked in the Dean’s Early Research Initiative (DERI) program at the VCU School of Engineering with Dr. Supriyo Bandyopadhyay and Dr. Ahsanul Abeed. I simulated the effect of pressure on multiferroic nanomagnets with defects, their potential uses in energy-efficient data storage, and their resonant frequencies.
