Title: Deformations of noncommutative spaces through their quantum symmetries

Abstract: The theory of quantum groups is essential to understanding quantum symmetries in noncommutative geometry and mathematical physics. We discuss a deformation theory to study various classes of algebras by lifting algebraic properties to categorical contexts via their universal quantum groups, where we can then apply the theory of tensor categories.
