I am a Lecturer of Applied Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis.

I received my PhD from the University of California, Berkeley advised by David Eisenbud after which I was a William Chauvenet Postdoctoral Lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis. I did my undergraduate and master's degrees in math(s) at the University of Warwick working with Miles Reid. 

I'm interested in fostering formative learning spaces & communities. I'm a Carver Faculty Fellow, a CEILE Fellow, and was recently a Project NExT Fellow (Azure '24).

My domain research interests mostly lie in pure/applied geometry and topology. My education research centers on formative assessment practices.

I recently started a working journal for folks invested in education/formation. Let me know if you'd like to be involved!

I'm the director of the minor program in Engineering Systems for Social Good. Reach out if you're interested in joining or partnering with us!
