I am currently a postdoc working with Jake Rasmussen at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I study knot theory and low-dimensional topology.
I am on the Job market looking for positions for Fall 2027
My advisor was Robert Lipshitz at the Univesity of Oregon. I received my PhD in May 2024.
I am currently working on a project studying bimodules in bordered Floer homology. The aim is to give a geometric interpretation of the action of CFDD(W), for cobordisms W: T^2 \to T^2, similar to the geometri description of CFD(M) given by Hanselman-Rasmussen_Watson for the case where M is a 3-manifold with torus boundary. See the picture for an example of the geometric action of the satellite determine by the two-bridge link b(10,3) acting on the right handed trefoil.
