I'm a postdoc at the University of Utah, working with Srikanth Iyengar.
I got my PhD in Toronto in 2018 under the supervision of Ragnar-Olaf Buchweitz.
I think about problems in commutative algebra and representation theory, often borrowing ideas from algebraic topology. Recently I'm especially interested in complete intersections and the homological phenomena surrounding them.
Here is my CV.
