I am currently on the job market for the 2027–2028 academic year!
I'm a PhD candidate at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I'm mainly interested in geometric group theory and low dimensional topology. My advisor is Dr. Yulan Qing.
I'm particularly interested in generalizations of the Gromov boundary (e.g., Morse and sublinearly Morse boundaries) of finitely generated groups and proper geodesic spaces and their connections with probabilistic phenomena. My current research focuses on the algebraic and dynamical properties of mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces.
Here is my CV.

I am currently co-organizing the Topology Seminar with Dr. Yulan Qing at the University of Tennessee. Details of future talks may be found here.
I am one of the organizers of the World of GroupCraft conference series. I have helped organize GroupCraft V (2025), and GroupCraft VI (2026). I hope to continue being involved in organizing future GroupCraft conferences as well.
I co-organize Student-led Graduate Mathematics Seminar at UTK. Please contact me if you want to volunteer to give a talk.
I support the statement of inclusiveness.
