Research

I work in areas related to the structure and applications of Hopf algebras. My most recent work has involved the structure of semisimple Hopf algebras, applications of bialgebras to computation, control theory, and data mining, and quantum groups. I am also investigating Hopf algebra orders in semisimple Hopf algebras, which is related to some work I did earlier.
