I am an associate senior lecturer at the Center for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University. I am partially funded by the Swedish Research Council via the strategic recruitment grant (no. 2026-01527).

Before that I was a postdoc at the Centre for Geometry and Topology, University of Copenhagen. From April 2024 to March 2026, I was supported by a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship (project no. 101150469). I received my Ph.D. at MIT in July 2023. My advisor was Haynes Miller and I was coadvised by Jeremy Hahn. Before that I was an undergrad at MIT. Here is my cv.

I'm broadly interested in stable homotopy theory and its applications to manifold theory. Most recently I have been studying the interaction between synthetic, chromatic, and equivariant stable homotopy theory, as well as understanding topological field theories via higher category theory.
