The Hopf category of Frobenius algebras, with Joost Vercruysse (under review)
2D HQFTs and Frobenius (G,V)-categories (preprint)
I am interested in category theory, particularly, monoidal categories and structures in them such as Hopf and Frobenius monoids and their multi-object generalisations called Hopf and Frobenius categories. Besides exploring their algebraic properties, I am looking for applications of such in various fields of maths. Particularly, I am working on Topological and Homotopy Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs and HQFTs).
