Graduate Student

I recently earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Georgia in May 2025. Before beginning my doctoral studies, I completed both my B.S. in Mathematics (2019) and M.A. in Mathematics (2020), also at UGA.

My research is in algebra. Specifically, I study tensor triangular geometry and its applications to the representation theory of Lie algebras, Lie superalgebras, algebraic groups, and finite groups.

As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I taught undergraduate courses in precalculus and calculus. I greatly enjoy helping students develop their mathematical reasoning skills.

Starting in Fall 2025, I will be a J.J. Sylvester Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University.

Here is my professional CV.
