Hi! I’m a second-year PhD student in mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania, where I study homotopy theory and related areas. I am also interested in how we can make math more accessible and more friendly, both narrowly in our communication and teaching, and broadly in how we engage with mathematical communities and mathematical culture.
I co-organize the graduate pizza seminar and run lots of departmental social activities at Penn. During summers, I teach at Canada/USA Mathcamp.
Before Penn, I was a mathematics-computer science major at Reed College. I wrote my undergraduate thesis with Angélica Osorno and Adam Groce on categorical models of cryptography. I was featured on What Is a Reedie, where I talked about my thesis and my broader experience at Reed. I was an organizer of both the math and CS student groups, and I co-organized the CS peer mentorship program and the math student colloquium.
I am honored to be supported by the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship and by the University of Pennsylvania’s Benjamin Franklin Fellowship.
