I am a sixth-year graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago, advised by Benson Farb. I am a low-dimensional topologist interested in Lefschetz fibrations and mapping class groups of certain 4-manifolds. Previously, I was an undergraduate at Cornell University.
Here is my CV.
