I'm currently an instructor in the MIT math department. I'm interested in foliations and flows on 3-manifolds, as well as their interactions with contact and symplectic geometry. You can see my work
here. In spring 2026, I will participate in the
Topological and Geometric Structures in Low Dimensions program at SLMath.
I'm organizing the
MIT geometry and topology seminar.
Before starting my math PhD, I worked in the
Seung lab on connectomics. You can see some of the work the lab produced
here.
I started a mural painting project in the Fine hall tower stairwells. Check out the results so far
here.
