I am a Clay Research Fellow based at the Institute for Advanced Study. Previously, I was a Junior Fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Studies at ETH Zurich mentored by Paul Biran and a graduate student at UC Berkeley advised by Michael Hutchings. Here is my CV.
My research interests include symplectic geometry and dynamics.
Starting in Summer 2027, I will be a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mathematics at EPFL. If you are interested in joining as a postdoc, please apply here.
