About me

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Washington, working with Julia Pevtsova. Before moving to Seattle, I was a postdoc at Iowa State University with Shlomo Gelaki.

​

I completed my PhD at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina, under the supervision of Nicolás Andruskiewitsch. I also held a brief postdoc in Córdoba with Iván Angiono.

​

My main research interests are Hopf algebras and tensor categories. My formation is in Nichols algebras, which are generalizations of positive parts of quantum groups and give a unifying framework for several constructions in quantum Lie theory.

​

Currently, I am primarily working on tensor categories in positive characteristic, and on applications of Nichols algebras and their representation theory (e.g. non-semisimple modular categories and knot invariants).
