Academic History

My recent academic research has focused on equivariant neural networks, model compression, parameter space symmetries, and gradient flow dynamics. Previously, I did research geometric representation theory, quantum groups, and related areas in theoretical mathematics.

I completed a PhD in mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin under the guidance of David Ben-Zvi. My dissertation focused on topics at the intersection of representation theory, algebraic geometry, and quantum algebra. Subsequently, I worked at IST Austria, the Weizmann Institute of Science, and Radboud University.
