Research interests

I work in the area of algebraic geometry where it intersects homological algebra, representation theory, and theoretical physics. In particular, the study of derived categories of both geometric and algebraic origin has been a running theme of my research. I'm currently particularly interested in derived categories of gentle algebras and spaces of Bridgeland stability conditions.
