I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Riverside.

I am primarily interested in representation theory and its connections to algebraic geometry and combinatorics. I particularly enjoy studying the McKay correspondence and related phenomena. In quantum computing, my work focuses on analyzing the performance and structural properties of algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems, with particular emphasis on the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and, more generally, Variational Quantum Algorithms.

I completed my Ph.D. in 2020 at Northeastern University, under the supervision of Ivan Losev and Gordana Todorov. My Ph.D. thesis was devoted to the study of categories O on Nakajima quiver varieties associated with bouquet graphs. Please find it here.
