I am a Research Assistant Professor at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University. Previously, I was a Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania, where my advisor was Tony Pantev.

My research concentrates in applying dualities from string theory to moduli problems in algebraic geometry and differential geometry. I am also interested in symplectic geometry, specifically Floer theory and other aspects of the Homological Mirror Symmetry program, in low-dimensional topology and TQFTs.
