About Me: Starting in Fall 2021, I will be an Assistant Professor at Brandeis University. I am currently an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University.  In 2018-2019, I was a NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley, and in 2017-2018 I was a Morrey Visiting Assistant Professor, also at UC Berkeley. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2017, where I studied geometric group theory under the supervision of Tullia Dymarz.  

Here is a copy of my CV (updated November 2019).

Research interests: I study geometric group theory and low-dimensional topology.  In particular, I am interested in group actions by isometries on hyperbolic spaces, especially acylindrical actions.  The kinds of groups I think about include hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups, mapping class groups, Out(F_n), CAT(0) groups, three manifold groups, hierarchically hyperbolic groups, and many more.
