I am an algebraic topologist and homotopy theorist.Â
Currently I am a PIMS CRG Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Regina, co-mentored by Martin Frankland and Donald Stanley.
Before coming to the U of R in Fall 2025, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, New Mexico State University (NMSU) advised by Prasit Bhattacharya, from Aug 2023 to July 2025. Prior to joining NMSU, I was a Graduate Employee at the University of Oregon (UO). I completed my PhD in June 2023 at the UO under the supervision of Dev Sinha. Here is a CV.

I am broadly interested in algebraic topology, and in particular in applying tools from homotopy theory to solve problems originated from geometry. For example, I use tools from stable, unstable, equivariant, and chromatic homotopy theory to study vector bundle questions in various contexts. See my Research Page for details.
I am teaching Math 110 (Calculus I) at the U of Regina in Fall 26. I taught the same course here in Fall 25 and Math 111 (Calculus II) in Winter 26.
At NMSU I have taught Math 2530G (Calculus III) in Spring 25, Math 2415 (Intro to Linear Algebra) in Fall 24 and Spring 25, Math 1521G (Calculus II) and Math 480 (Applied Linear Algebra) in Spring 24, and Math 541 (Algebraic Topology I) in Fall 23.
I have taught and TA-ed a variety of undergraduate courses at the UO. Please refer to my Teaching page for a full list of previous teaching experiences.
I co-organized the NMSU Geometry & Topology Seminar in academic years 23-24 and 24-25.
I led an REU program at NMSU in Summer 2025. Here is our research report.
