I am a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Dmitriy Rumynin and Dr Inna Capdeboscq finishing studies in academic year 2018/2019. I work in representation theory. More precisely, I am interested in investigating the category of smooth representations of locally compact totally disconnected topologicial groups, Kac-Moody groups and their associated buildings. Another interest of mine is monoidal categories and representations of categorical groups. You can find my CV here.
