Research
I am currently working on Grothendieck-Verdier categories. These are monoidal categories with a duality structure that is more general than rigidity. Grothendieck-Verdier categories occur as representation categories of vertex operator algebras. This has been my motivation for studying them.

- Surface Diagrams for Frobenius Algebras and Frobenius-Schur Indicators in Grothendieck-Verdier Categories.
Preprint. With Christoph Schweigert. See also the additional STL and HOM files and the addendum.
Theses
- My bachelor's thesis characterizes linearly distributive categories with invertible distributors as shift monoidal categories up to Frobenius linearly distributive equivalence.
- My master's thesis uses surface diagrams to study Frobenius algebras in linearly distributive categories, Hopf monads, Hopf algebroids, Hopf adjunctions, and Frobenius-Schur indicators for pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories.
