I am a graduate student at Harvard University studying with Prof. Mihnea Popa.
Before that, I was an undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo. There I worked on math problems in several different areas with Professors Kathryn Hare, Kevin Hare and Matthew Satriano.
I will be on the job market in Fall 2026. My CV.
I am interested in singularities in algebraic geometry, Hodge theory and algebraic K-theory. In particular, I am trying to understand the higher rational and higher Du Bois singularities that were introduced recently as a refinement of rational and Du Bois singularities. My recent project aims to study the homotopy invariance of the algebraic K-groups using recent progress on higher Du Bois singularities.
