Benjamin Lovitz
I am an NSF postdoc and Zelevinsky fellow at Northeastern University, working with Harm Derksen. I earned my PhD from the University of Waterloo, where I was supervised by William Slofstra and John Watrous. Prior to that, I completed my MSc at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Norbert Lütkenhaus.
Often, the key to solving a problem lies in uncovering some underlying symmetry. In most of my work, I find and leverage algebraic-geometric and representation-theoretic symmetries in problems coming from tensor decompositions, quantum information theory, and optimization.
