About me:

I am currently a Hans Rademacher Postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania, in the mathematical physics group, and am working with Angela Gibney and Daniel Krashen and their students. I was formerly a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz (2018-2023), working under the guidance of Chongying Dong.

Research

My research is in vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and 2D-conformal field theory (CFT). So far, I have been focused on the algebraic side of these theories. I was studying the fusion rules for VOAs and CFTs, Zhu’s algebra, Borel-type subalgebras, classical Yang-Baxter equations, and Rota-Baxter operators for VOAs for my Ph.D. dissertation. Now I am hoping to explore the geometric side of these theories and their deeper connections with physics.

Here are some of my research papers:

1. One-point restricted conformal blocks and the fusion rules, arXiv:2411.06313
2. Quasi-triangular decomposition and induced modules for vertex operator algebras, arXiv:2402.02278v2
