I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Washington.
Previously, I was a L.E. Dickson instructor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago, mentored by Peter May.
I obtained my Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard University in 2019, advised by Michael Hopkins.
My research interest is in algebraic topology, with a focus on equivariant homotopy theory and chromatic homotopy theory.
I am a co-founder and instructor for the Husky Math Academy (HMA), which is part of UW Math Enrichment.
My CV is here (last updated December 2025).
My papers are on my research page.
