I am a mathematician studying ideas at the intersections of geometric representation theory,  enumerative algebraic geometry, low dimensional topology, and integrable systems,  motivated by an increasingly robust dictionary between the modern mathematics canon and physical theories of quantum fields and strings.

I am currently a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Oxford Mathematical Institute since 2021, and NSERC postdoctoral fellow since 2022. Previously, I completed my doctorate in mathematics at the University of Toronto in 2021, and was a resident at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
