about me


I'm a postdoctoral research associate in the Mathematics Institute of the University of Göttingen, and a member of the Courant Research Centre on Higher Order Structures in Mathematics (CRCG). I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Riverside. My thesis was supervised by John Baez.


Here is my CV.

research interests


My current work focuses on higher structures in topology and geometry, homotopical algebra, and mathematical physics. More about my research.
