My research is broadly focused on string theory and quantum field theory. Recently I have been interested in symmetries and their generalization to "categorical" or "non-invertible" symmetries, as well as in revisiting subtle, topological issues in string theory. My previous work has explored string perturbation theory, its connections to number theory, and various topics in (super)conformal field theory. 

Before coming to University of Washington I was a Research Assistant Professor at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics. Here are my INSPIRE-HEP and Google Scholar profiles.
