As of the summer of 2026, I am a postdoc at USC working with Aaron Lauda, supported by the Simons Collaboration on New Structures in Low-dimensional Topology.
I was a Ritt Assistant Professor (postdoc) at Columbia University from 2022-2026. I completed my Ph.D. in May 2022 at the University of Virginia under the supervision of Slava Krushkal.
My research focuses on low-dimensional and quantum topology. I work with Khovanov and Khovanov-Rozansky homology, stable homotopy refinements of link homology, (knot) lattice homology, quantum invariants of 3-manifolds, and error-correcting codes in quantum computing.
