About

I am a postdoc (Research Assistant Professor) in the mathematics department at UIC. I received my Ph.D. at the University of Georgia in 2022, under the direction of Valery Alexeev. Previously I was an undergraduate at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA.

Here is my CV.

Research

I am interested in algebraic geometry and tropical geometry. My research focuses in particular on intersection theory and birational geometry of moduli spaces of higher-dimensional varieties, and the use of tropical geometry in the study of such moduli spaces.
