I am an assistant professor at Rutgers University-Newark.
My research interests are in low-dimensional topology (especially 4-manifolds) and contact/symplectic geometry, and I am currently funded by NSF standard grant DMS-2114837 / DMS-2243128 (2021-2025). You can find more information on my research page and my CV, or by checking out my papers on the arXiv.
