I am a mathematician inspired by problems in physics, and I just defended my PhD in mathematics at MIT. In the fall, I will begin a postdoc research position at Dalhousie University. In 2027, I will move to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.

Before MIT, I completed my undergraduate degree at Harvard and my master's degree through Part III at the University of Cambridge. In high school, I participated in the Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics.

I'm interested in algebraic topology and physics, including topological phases of quantum matter and anomalies of field theories. I like to think about topological $K$-theory, topological quantum field theory, quantum information, lattice models, and equivariant algebra.

I was also a GUMMi mentor and board member and an officer for MIT's Archery Team.
