William Stewart

Dr. William Stewart is a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) and the Department of Mathematics (M2). He works under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Claudia Scheimbauer and is a member of the SFB Higher Invariants Collaborative Research Centre.

His research lies at the intersection of category theory and quantum field theory, focusing on the development and application of categorical tools to study domain walls and defects in topological quantum field theories. His work is deeply rooted in mathematical physics and higher algebraic structures.

Dr. Stewart completed his PhD in August 2024 at the University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Dan Freed. His doctoral research contributed to the understanding of categorical symmetries in quantum field theories.
