Research Statement
I am interested in mathematical physics, in particular in functorial field theories and factorization algebras, which seem to be two related axiomatizations of quantum field theory. Another main interest of mine is BV quantization. My research has centered around formal aspects of free fermions, as understood in a BV-theoretic and factorization-algebraic framework. I am also interested in constructions of factorization algebras for field theories on manifolds with boundary.
