My research interests are 3- and 4-manifold topology and geometry, especially questions about branched coverings, knot theory and knotted surfaces, and trisections.

seminars

Geometric Topology Grad And Postdoc Seminar is an online seminar (via Zoom) for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars studying geometric topology. Since Summer 2023, I have been an organiser, along with Clair Xinle Dai and Vivian He.

Here are some other seminars I've organised in the past.

• (Spring 2024) 3-Manifolds Learning Seminar, with Luis Torres
• (Spring 2023) Junior Topology Seminar
• (Fall 2022) Characteristic Classes learning seminar, with Casandra Monroe and Luis Torres
• (Fall 2021-Spring 2022) Sophex Seminar, with Jen Rozenblit
