Hi! I'm a second-year PhD student in mathematics at UC Davis. Previously, I did my undergrad at Georgia Tech and worked in software in between.

I am broadly interested in geometric topology, with a particular interest in knot theory and 3- and 4-manifolds. Right now, I'm most excited about dimension 4, namely exotica, trisections, and knotted surfaces. A motivating goal of mine is to understand all of the ways that manifolds can be built from simpler pieces.

My favorite hobby is listening to music and seeing concerts. My song of the summer was Dry Heave by Tiger Really! I also like to collect vintage fashion and recover food for the Davis Night Market.
