Work history
Research assistant
Imperial College London
London
2022.06 - 2022.08
- Mapped the literature on the Grothendieck Cousin Complexes and both analytic / algebraic versions of the Borel–Weil Theorem, distilling several papers into a technical report for the Algebra & Number Theory group.
- Reproduced key examples of representations of Lie groups and Generalized them into the quantum case.
Research assistant
University of Nottingham
Nottingham
2021.06 - 2021.10
- Surveyed recent work on braiding structures of quantum groups and Summarized in a technical report.
- Derived a matrix‑based criterion for detecting non‑degenerate braidings of comodules, providing a shorter proof than existing tensor‑category approaches.
Research assistant
University of Nottingham
Nottingham
2020.06 - 2020.10
- Investigated solution counts of 2 × 2 matrix polynomials of degree ≤ 3, discussing the possible number of the solutions via eigenvalue factorisation and resultant techniques.
- An upper bound for the number of solutions can be abstractly established using algebraic‑geometric methods.
