Teaching

I am a Zassenhaus Assistant Professor (postdoc) at The Ohio State University. I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Virginia in May 2026, where my advisor was Slava Krushkal.

I study low dimensional topology, knot theory and categorification. My doctoral work focuses on interactions between knot invariants and Thompson's group. I am currently studying skein lasagna modules, trisections of 4-manifold and Rozansky-Witten theory.
