I am a Post-Doctoral Associate and NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at NYU Courant, where my supervisor is Bruce Kleiner. I received my Ph.D. in 2021 from UC Berkeley, where I was advised by Richard Bamler. I work on problems in geometric analysis, particularly those related to Ricci flow and scalar curvature.

In Spring 2024 I am teaching MATH-UA 325 010 Analysis. I am also a co-organizer for the Courant Geometric Analysis and Topology Seminar.
