I am a final-year PhD candidate in pure mathematics at the University of Michigan. My advisor is Jenny Wilson.
I study the (co)homology of arithmetic groups like special linear and symplectic groups, using tools from algebraic topology, combinatorial topology, and homological algebra. I am also interested in stability phenomena in the (co)homology of various families of spaces.
I am on the academic job market in Fall 2026.
