Intro

I am a fourth year math Ph.D. student at UC San Diego. My interests are currently in Algebraic Topology, specifically understanding diffeomorphism classes of 4-manifolds via Seiberg-Witten, Bauer-Furuta, and families Bauer-Furuta invariants in stable equivariant homotopy groups of spheres. I'm co-advised by Zhouli Xu (UC San Diego) and Jianfeng Lin (Tsinghua University).

I am supported by the National Science Foundation electronic Computational Homotopy Theory Research Training Group Graduate Student Fellowship for the academic year 2023-24 and I was supported by the same grant in 22-23. (The shorter version of the above is NSF eCHT RTG Student Fellowship and I put that on my LinkedIn since I didn't know what else to put).

In 2023-2024, I am on the MGSC Discord task force, and am technical support for the eCHT Research Seminar.

In 2022-2023, I was the Math Graduate Student Council (MGSC) Communications Director as well as the MGSC Events Committee Co-Chair, member of the MGSC Survey Committee, member of the Discord task force, and qualifying exam reform task force. I was also technical support for the eCHT Research Seminar.

In 2021-2022 I was the MGSC Events Committee Co-Chair and was on the Survey Committee

I graduated with a M.S. in Mathematics from Montana State University in 2020 with David Ayala as my academic advisor.

I graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics from Montana State University in 2019.
