I am a Ph. D. candidate in the topology group at the University of British Columbia, expected to graduate in May 2026. My advisor is Ben Williams. Here is my CV.
This fall, I will be a postdoc at SLMath. Starting January 2027, I will be a postdoc at Duke working with Kirsten Wickelgren.
In my research, I use motivic homotopy theory to address problems in algebra and algebraic geometry. I am also interested in algebraic topology more broadly.
