معرفی
Harshit Yadav is a Max Wyman Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Alberta. His research focuses on Hopf algebras, tensor categories, and vertex operator algebras. He holds a PhD from Rice University (2023) and a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Scientific Computing from IIT Kanpur (2017). Yadav has taught courses such as Math 228 (Ring Theory) at the University of Alberta and served as a teaching assistant at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he received teaching excellence awards. His work spans algebraic structures, category theory, and combinatorics, with notable contributions to module categories, Frobenius algebras, and Schubert calculus.
Yadav's research interests include exploring nondegenerate module categories, Frobenius functors, and commutative algebras within Grothendieck-Verdier categories. His articles address topics like unimodular module categories, filtered Frobenius algebras, and equivariant cohomology. Beyond academia, he enjoys football and chess, as reflected in his team photos from IIT Kanpur.
He has mentored students like Andrii Smutchak and Amanda Hernandez on advanced algebraic topics. His service roles include panelist at the Gulf Coast Undergraduate Research Symposium and counseling at IIT Kanpur. Yadav's interdisciplinary work extends to machine learning, co-authoring a paper on group-equivariant neural networks.
