I am currently a fourth year mathematics Ph.D. candidate at the University of Colorado Boulder advised by Professor Sebastian Casalaina-Martin.
My research interests lie in algebraic geometry. In particular, I am interested in the birational geometry and explicit description of moduli spaces.
I am a founder and organizer of FRAG Day, the CU AGLS, and the CU DRP.
Starting Fall 2026, I will be on the academic job market.
Key words: algebraic geometry, birational geometry, moduli spaces, higher-dimensional varieties, KSBA, (log) minimal model program, algebraic surfaces, cubic surfaces
