RESEARCH INTERESTs

I am a mathematical researcher who specialises in operator algebras. I study C*-algebras associated to graphs, semigroups, inverse semigroups, groupoids, and group actions. I have also studied purely algebraic objects, including Steinberg algebras and Leavitt-path algebras. I have a recent interest in the study of quantum groups, with a focus on self-similarity in quantum groups.
