About

I'm a Ph.D. candidate at UBC under the supervision of Albert Chau. I will be defending sometime in May 2025 and have accepted a post-doctoral position at UBC, to begin July 2025.

I have had my entire post-secondary education from UBC, wherein I have obtained BSc (2019) and MSc (2021).

My current research is primarily focused on Hamilton's Ricci Flow, though I remain interested in other aspects of geometric analysis as well as mathematical general relativity.

Teaching

I always welcome correspondence from past, present or future students. You may be interested in my teaching philosophy, or in a list of courses for which I have been a TA.
