Hello! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Pure Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. I'm also a member of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo. Before 2021, I was a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M University.


Research Interests: Operator Algebras, Quantum Information Theory (QIT), Representation Theory, Quantum Symmetries (Quantum Groups), Non-commutative Probability, and Quantum Algebra. I am particularly interested in studying interactions between these fields.
