I hold an NSERC Canada Postdoctoral Research Award in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto.
I graduated in 2024 from the University of Waterloo where I did my PhD with Sophie Spirkl in the C&O department. My first post-PhD appointment was as junior faculty in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, but I never made it to Princeton -- courtesy of a presidential proclamation under which apparently anyone with the wrong citizenship is a "national security and public safety threat." Instead, I stayed in Waterloo as a Postdoctoral Scholar from 2024 to 2026, waiting for U.S. immigration to get over itself. It didn't.
My research is in combinatorics and graph theory, with a focus on structural graph theory. Broadly, I am also interested in topology, number theory, and category theory.

Here are my CV and my Google Scholar profile.

"If there is one thing in mathematics that fascinates me more than anything else (and probably always has), it is neither 'number' nor 'size,' but always form. And among the thousand and one faces that form chooses to manifest itself to us, the one that has fascinated me more than any other and continues to fascinate me is the hidden structure within mathematical things."
