Research

My main research interests are algebraic rewriting and categorification in representation theory. My objective is to develop efficient tools based on rewriting theories to study diagrammatic algebras and categories arising in categorification problems. In particular, my goal is to develop tools based on rewriting modulo the axioms of the inherent algebraic structure to automatize the computation of linear bases, coherent presentations, cofibrant replacements, etc.
