Currently, I am transitioning from academia to industry. From 2022 to 2024, I was a visiting assistant professor in the mathematics department at Michigan State University. Prior to that, I graduated from the mathematics PhD program at the University of Virginia in May of 2022 under the direction of Thomas Mark.

My mathematical interests are in low-dimensional topology, in particular using Floer homology to study 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds. I am also interested in connections between lattice homology and the \(\widehat{Z}\) invariant.
