Mathematical Interests
My research lies at the intersection of mathematics and physics, with a particular emphasis on the geometric and algebraic foundations of quantum field theory. I am especially interested in topological quantum field theories, local gauge theories, algebraic topology, symplectic geometry, and the role of higher categorical and homotopical structures in quantum field theory. Through this perspective, I aim to deepen our understanding of the interplay between geometry, topology, and quantum phenomena.
