I completed my PhD in Mathematics under the supervision of Stephen Theriault at the University of Southampton in 2019. From 2019 to 2022, I was a PIMS postdoc fellow at the University of Regina, and from 2022 to 2024, I was a Postdoc Associate at the University of Western Ontario (aka the Western University). Currently, I am a visitor at the University of Southampton.
My research area lies in algebraic topology, where I use homotopy theory to explore various topics arising in topology and geometry. In particular I am interested in the homotopy theory of gauge groups (which are the topological groups of equivariant automorphisms of principal bundles), toric topology, polyhedral products, and the geometric realization problem of algebras.
You can find more about me by checking my CV here.
