About me

I am a PIMS postdoc at the University of British Columbia, working on low-dimensional topology. My mentor is Liam Watson. I received my Ph.D. in 2019 from Michigan State University under the supervision of Matt Hedden. Here is my CV.

Research

My research interests are in low-dimensional topology, a subject that studies knots, surfaces, 3- and 4-manifolds. I am in particular interested in knot theory and its 4-dimensional aspects, and Heegaard Floer homology and its applications. You can find my papers and preprints here.
