Research Interests:

I study complexity and invariants of tensors and polynomials, particularly with applications to theoretical computer science. Interesting problems in this area include the tensor rank and polynomial Waring rank problems, including the determining the complexity of matrix multiplication, and tensor isomorphism testing. These problems link many areas of mathematics, including algebraic geometry and representation theory, which I take as essential tools.
