I am an NSF Postdoc at the Department of Mathematics at Columbia University. Previously, I was a visitor at the IAS (’20-21) and before that, I did my PhD at MIT, advised by Jacob Lurie, and my undergraduate work at Harvard. My research is supported by NSF Grant DMS-2002029.
My work draws broadly from higher category theory, chromatic and equivariant homotopy theory, and algebraic K-theory to solve problems in algebraic topology and seek out connections to other fields of math. My CV can be found here.
