I work mainly in combinatorial representation theory. Specifically, I study how combinatorial objects (like partitions, tableaux, lattices, etc.) encode structure of algebras similar to the group algebra of the symmetric group, Brauer algebras, graded and affine Temperley-Lieb, Hecke, and Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras, etc. My thesis work, completed in 2010 at the University of Wisconsin--Madison, began the study of two-boundary Hecke algebras.
