My research is in resolvent problems and arithmetic topology: I ask about obstructions to solving problems, using tools from representation theory, algebraic geometry, and algebraic topology. My interests also include mathematical history and illustration. As a researcher and a teacher, I like to think about how and why we do math—in relation to global institutions, political conflict, and social movements—towards sustainable mathematical futures.
I am supported in part by the National Science Foundation’s LEAPS fellowship, I am Deputy Editor of MAA FOCUS, and a member of the ’23 Green NExT cohort. Before Carleton, I was a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow with Jesse Wolfson and Nathan Kaplan. I did my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, advised by Benson Farb and supported in part by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. I also studied Math, Physics, and Computer Science at New Mexico Tech.
At Carleton since 2020.
