My research interests include knot theory, categorification, and low-dimensional topology. My PhD advisor is Jacob Rasmussen.

Prior to coming to UIUC, I participated in Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge University. I completed my undergrad at Wheaton College (IL), where I majored in mathematics and philosophy, and I minored in German studies and physics. 

Outside of mathematics, I enjoy playing guitar and piano, composing music, working out, reading, writing, and various outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and climbing.
