Pronouns: they/them

My main research interest is in noncommutative algebra, and in particular quantized coordinate rings / quantum algebras and their semi-classical limits. At the moment I'm mostly interested in H-primes in quantum algebras, and total positivity in real matrices and the real Grassmannian.

• You can find my academic CV here.
• Here is my Github, including Python code for manipulating positroids and Wilson loop diagrams
• 3B spring 2019 students: grade calculator is here.

For interested non-mathematicians

Here are some math outreach things I've created or been involved in; they're all aimed at mathematically-inclined people but don't require much specialist knowledge. Some of them even relate to my research!

• Poster explaining my PhD work on division rings. This reached the final of the STEM for Britain poster competition in 2015.
• Matt Parker's Domino computer

For mathematicians

The following documents go into more detail about my research, and are listed in roughly increasing order of specialisation.

• Research proposal on H-primes, totally nonnegative matrices, and applications to physics (2017, aimed at general mathematicians).
• Research statement (2015, aimed at algebraists).
• PhD thesis (2014, aimed at noncommutative algebraists).
