I am an assistant professor in mathematics at North Dakota State University. 

My research interests include birational geometry, the theory of moduli spaces, derived categories in algebraic geometry, higher codimension cycles, and special varieties (in characteristic p).

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago working with Izzet Coskun and subsequently was an RTG postdoctoral fellow at Stony Brook University/the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics mentored by Rob Lazarsfeld and a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan mentored by Karen Smith.
