Welcome!

I am a C.R. Wiley Instructor at the University of Utah, working with Priyam Patel. I received my PhD from UC Santa Barbara in 2025. My advisor was Daryl Cooper.

I am interested in low dimensional topology, 3-manifolds, and geometric group theory.

I strongly believe in these axioms of inclusivity stated by Federico Ardila:

Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is equally present in different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.

Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.

Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.

Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
