Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record appears to blend at least two distinct research identities under the same name: one focused on theoretical high-energy physics, particularly supersymmetric quantum field theories, dualities, and topological quantum field theory (TQFT), and another focused on natural product chemistry and biological macromolecules (e.g., plant polysaccharides and their antioxidant/health-related activities). The theoretical physics work centers on understanding symmetries, dualities, and mathematical structures underlying supersymmetric gauge theories, including topics like conformal field theory, Chern-Simons theory, and 4D/3D dualities.

Publication output grew substantially from near-zero in 2017-2018 to a peak of 11 in 2024, with sustained high activity (7-9 papers/year) through 2025, though the count for 2026 is only partially reflected.
