I'm a research associate in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge.
Before I was at Cambridge, I was a CLE Moore Instructor and NSF Postdoctoral Research Associate at MIT. I received my PhD from Stanford University in 2020 under the direction of Denis Auroux (Harvard) and Ravi Vakil.
My research interests are primarily in symplectic topology and complex algebraic geometry; my past projects have incorporated homological mirror symmetry, Hodge theory, birational geometry, and algebraic topology.
