Hello! I am a PhD student in the topology group at UBC, working under the supervision of Liam Watson. My research is in knot theory, an area within low-dimensional topology. In particular, I like to use immersed curve technology to explore knot invariants such as Khovanov homology and the Jones polynomial. Here is my CV.
