I'm a fifth-year graduate student at Harvard, fortunate to be advised by Mike Hopkins and Dennis Gaitsgory. I'm broadly interested in algebraic topology, characteristic p (and v1, v2, ...) geometry, and geometric representation theory, but my interests are constantly changing. I'll be applying for postdocs during fall 2024.

Outside of math, I spend a bunch of time playing the drums, listening to (mostly instrumental) prog metal, and playing basketball. I was an undergraduate at MIT, where I majored in math (course 18) and minored in physics (course 8).

Here is a blog (which I have been horrible about updating).
