About Me

I'm an assistant professor at Colorado State University Pueblo. My research interest is in the field of Knot Theory. In particular I've been working on relations between fundamental knot invariants and quantum link invariants. I have also done some work with knot Floer homology. 

I received my Ph.D. in April 2024 from Michigan State University. My dissertation was Topics in Classical and Quantum Knot Invariants.  My advisor was Effie Kalfagianni.

I also have a masters (2018) from Wake Forest University where I did a thesis with Dr. Jason Parsley. I received my Bachelors degree with honors in mathematics from Oberlin College in 2014.
