Curriculum Vitae  

I am a postdoc at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, working under the supervision of Asher Auel. In Fall 2023, I was based at the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany as a participant in the Junior Trimester Program in Algebraic Geometry. I received my PhD in 2020 under the supervision of Anthony Várilly-Alvarado.

In Fall 2023, I co-organizined the STReTCH seminar in Bonn with Xuqiang Qin.

Research Interests
General interests: Algebraic Geometry, Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory

Specific interests: Hyperkähler varieties, cubic fourfolds, K3 surfaces, moduli spaces of these varieties, geometry over nonclosed fields, rational points

Old stuff

Some random incomplete notes that some people have occasionally found useful.


Fun stuff Some non-mathematical activities that I enjoy: cooking, singing, hiking, biking, and skiing.
