About me:
I am an Assistant Professor of mathematics at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Before coming to Duquesne, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Georgia (2021-2022) and at Dartmouth College (2018-2021).
I completed my PhD in mathematics in 2018 at Indiana University advised by Charles Livingston.
My research interests lie in the field of low-dimensional topology. In particular, I am interested in knot theory in dimensions 3 and 4.
