I am an enthusiastic math PhD student at Colorado State University under the supervision of Mark Shoemaker and Renzo Cavalieri.

My research interests are in
moduli spaces (esp. of quasimaps), intersection theory in moduli spaces, computations for diverse enumerative problems, quantum cohomology, and mirror symmetry.


Wir müssen wissen, wir werden wissen.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

"One of the things I realized while learning and researching new mathematics in earnest during graduate school was that the answers to questions in mathematical research were already embedded in the subjects.  But since they were new to me, I felt like I was finding hidden objects."
