About Me
About Me
I am a National Science Foundation MPS-Ascend Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. My research focuses on symplectic geometry and homological mirror symmetry, in particular extending Fukaya categories of Landau-Ginzburg models to non-exact and non-Lefschetz settings. Previously, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California, Riverside and a Research Assistant Professor at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University. I received my PhD in 2019 from UC Berkeley under Professor Denis Auroux and earned my BA and Master of Mathematics from the University of Cambridge.
My work also aims to broaden participation among underrepresented minority groups in mathematics and engage the general public. Here's a general-audience elevator pitch I created in grad school, and here's an AMS article by AMS Mass Media Fellow Maxine Calle covering a talk I gave on wrapping in the Fukaya category.
On a personal note, I enjoy ballet and am part of the LGBTQ+ community. You can find more about me on MΣΣT a Mathematician! and the UC Berkeley math department's Peer Advisors Podcast. Here’s how to pronounce my name.
