About:
I am a sixth year graduate student at the University of Chicago and a student of Ngô Bảo Châu. Interested broadly in the geometry of the Hitchin fibration and its many manifestations in representation theory and number theory. Currently studying Hitchin systems associated to symmetric pairs, with applications to relative trace formulae and duality of branes on the Hitchin moduli space. My Research Statement can be found here. My CV is here.Publications/Preprints:
- The Hitchin Fibration for Symmetric Spaces with Benedict Morrissey, in progress. [PDF (in progress)]
- The Companion Section for Classical Groups with Ngô Bảo Châu, in revision. [PDF]
- A Refined Count of Coxeter Element Reflection Factorizations (2018) with Elise delMas and Victor Reiner. Electronic Journal of Combinatorics. [PDF]
- Chow Rings of Vector Space Matroids (2019) with Connor Simpson and Sujit Rao. Journal of Combinatorics. [PDF]
