I obtained my PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in August 2017 under the direction of Christopher J. Leininger (now at Rice) and Ilya Kapovich (now at CUNY). Before coming to Madison in Fall 2021, I was a Gibbs Assistant Professor at Yale.


I am interested in Geometric Topology, Geometric Group Theory, Ergodic Theory and Dynamics. Check out my research page for publications, preprints and notes.

I share in Federico Ardila's axioms:

  • Axiom 1: Mathematical talent is distributed equally among 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.


I also support the statement of inclusiveness.
