I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania.
Before joining Penn, I was a J.J. Sylvester Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University. In the fall of 2022, I was a Research Member at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, and in the fall of 2018 I was a guest at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn.
I got my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Chicago under the supervision of Peter May in 2014.
My research interests include algebraic K-theory, its applications to number theory and manifold theory, and equivariant stable homotopy theory.
Here is my CV.
