Curriculum Vitae

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at NYU working with Sylvain Cappell. Before that, I was a Ph.D. student at Brandeis University advised by Daniel Ruberman (and jointly by Lisa Piccirillo from my third year onward).

I am interested in connections between knot theory and smooth structures on simply-connected 4-manifolds.

Personal

I enjoy fencing. I worked as a coach/competitor at Echo Fencing Club (Boston) from 2021-2023.

My brother, Nate, works as a Copywriter. Check out his campaigns.

My sister, Emma, is an artist. She paints pictures for galleries and private commissions.
