Recent Interests

(Compact) Quantum Groups: in particular representation categories, C*-tensor categories and Hopf algebras,
Operator algebras: C*-algebras, K-theory and KK-theory, graph C*-algebras and related combinatorial aspects,
Other future directions: Exploring the intersections between operator algebraic methods and quantum information theory.
Beyond these core areas, I am driven by a broad mathematical curiosity and remain very open to exploring new topics and collaborating across different fields.

Teaching

Since 2021, I have served as a teaching assistant for various courses, including Advanced Mathematics for Engineers, Linear Algebra, Analysis, Complex Analysis, Functional Analysis, and Operator Algebras, where I led tutorials and graded problem sets.

Summer 2026: Lecturer for Quantum Groups, together with Luca Junk
Winter 2025/2026: Assistant/Lecturer for Graph C*-algebras, together with Moritz Weber
