About Me

I am a second year math PhD student at UC Berkeley. I graduated from UC Davis in 2025 with a major in mathematics. I am from Portland, Oregon (the Oregon coast is pictured above). 

I am interested in link homology theories and what they can say about the topology of 3- and 4-manifolds. In particular, I have recently been thinking about problems related to ribbon concordance.

My cv is here.
