Reuven
 I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Kansas.

My research focuses on representation theory, algebraic groups, and algebraic combinatorics. I investigate flag varieties and their Schubert varieties via representation theoretic and combinatorial tools. I also work with straightening relations and study their application to multiplicities of irreducible representations in plethysms and geometric complexity theory.


I co-organized a Schubert Summer School at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on June 12-22, 2023. See the website for details.
