I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University at Albany SUNY.
Before arriving in Albany in 2017, I was a postdoc at Duke University for three years under the mentorship of John Harer.
I completed my PhD at the University of Pennsylvania in May 2014 under the direction of Robert Ghrist, although I spent half of my time as a visiting associate to Bob MacPherson at the Institute for Advanced Study.
My research is primarily in the development of theoretical foundations for Topological Data Analysis via sheaf theory and category theory.
