Research interests

I am a theoretical physicist working on generalized symmetries in quantum systems, ranging from high energy physics to condensed matter and quantum computation. I am a co-organizer of the Symmetries 2024 conference. 
I am the developer of the AlgebrasTQD GAP code: https://github.com/AlisonWarman/AlgebrasTQD.
