I am currently a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the math department at UW-Madison. My advisor is Andy Zimmer. My co-advisor is Sebastian Hurtado-Salazar of Yale University. Before coming to Madison, I was an undergrad at the University of Chicago. Here is a copy of my CV.
I am graduating at the end of the Spring 2026 semester.
For the Spring 2026 semester, I will be a Program Associate at the SLMath semester program "Geometry and Dynamics for Discrete Subgroups of Higher Rank Lie Groups," funded by a SLMath Doctoral Fellowship.
Papers:
3. Rigidity of proper holomorphic maps between balls with Hölder boundary regularity (joint with Kyle Huang, Jinwoo Park, Jaan Amla Srimurthy, Andrew Zimmer, and Rou Wen)
Submitted, 20 pages. MXM project!
2. Asymptotically large free semigroups in Zariski dense discrete subgroups of Lie groups
Submitted, 39 pages.
1. Free semigroups of large critical exponent
Submitted, 40 pages.
Mathematical Interests:
My mathematical interests are in geometry and dynamics, particularly discrete subgroups of higher rank Lie groups. Recently, I have been especially interested in understanding asymptotic properties of discrete subgroups of Lie groups and the representation theory of semisimple Lie groups.
