Hi!
I'm a third-year mathematics PhD student at UC Berkeley, advised by Michael Hutchings. I graduated from Cambridge with a MASt in 2024.
I'm interested in knot theory and low-dimensional topology through the lens of contact geometry and various Floer-type theories.
Currently...
I am studying forpassed my qualifying exam on April 29th, 2026!

In the past...
I began my interest in math taking courses at Portland State University growing up; I was then an undergraduate at Harvey Mudd College for two years (here is my undergraduate math coursework) before leaving to attend Part III at Cambridge in the UK.
After a stressful application season, I ended up at Berkeley for a PhD! Hence, I have a MASt degree but no Bachelor's Degree.
