I use geometric ideas to study computational questions in groups. In particular, my work until now has focused on the Conjugacy Problem of a family of groups called Miller Machines, and its connection to the word problem in finitely presented groups. I have also done some work as an undergraduate in knot theory, and am generally interested in mathematical questions involving computational and or geometric ideas. I am fortunate to be advised by Timothy Riley, and my work is generously supported by the National Science Foundation under NSF Grant DGE - 2139899. Here is my CV.
