Research/Writing

My current research interests are in geometric group theory. In particular, I am interested in studying the geometry of the mapping class group equipped with the word metric.

Other Preprints

In Summer of 2022, I participated in the PIMS Math^Industry Workshop. The following preprint consists of the progress my team made over the two weeks we had to work on an industry related problem.
