About Me

I am a tenured Associate 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, Ezra Miller and Sayan Mukherjee.

I completed my PhD at the University of Pennsylvania in May 2014 under the direction of Robert Ghrist. However, I spent half of my time as a visiting associate to Bob MacPherson at the Institute for Advanced Study, where I learned stratification theory from Mark Goresky.

My research is primarily in the development of theoretical foundations for Topological Data Analysis via sheaf theory and category theory.
