About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Caltech math department. I obtained my bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science from Columbia University in 2022.

Research

I am interested in low-dimensional topology and geometry, specifically Heegaard Floer homology and its applications. In my undergraduate experience, I worked on a project which used Khovanov homology to distinguish embedded surfaces in 4-manifolds.
