Hello! I am a math researcher and educator at Duke University, serving as a Phillip Griffiths Assistant Research Professor and an NSF MPS-Ascend postdoctoral fellow.

My research focus lies in the areas of low-dimensional topology and gauge theory, with applications to bordered and Heegaard Floer homologies, 3-manifolds, exotic structures on 4-manifolds, and knots. I am always happy to chat about opportunities for collaboration. 

Previously, from Sept 2020-Jan 2022, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, working with Arunima Ray. From Sept 2017-Aug 2020, I was a postdoctoral researcher at CIRGET, Université du Québec à Montréal, working with Liam Watson and Steve Boyer, and an instructor at McGill University.  I completed my PhD in May 2017 at Brandeis University, advised by Danny Ruberman.
