Welcome to my website! I’m a second year PhD student at University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill studying pure mathematics. I graduated from University of Texas at Austin in May 2021, with a Bachelor of Science in Math and Physics. My research interests are neighborhoods of (complex/derived) algebraic geometry, high energy mathematical physics (especially mirror symmetry, QFT/TQFT, and string theory), and geometric and categorical representation theory, especially geometric Langlands. Warning: This list is highly volatile.
When I’m not doing math, you can find me playing soccer, listening to loud music, and creating lists that obey the rule of three.
What I’m learning about this semester (outside of class) (Spring 2023):
I) I’m participating in a seminar led by Andrey Smirnov on equivariant cohomology/quiver varieties. I will present at least once.
II) I’m mainly reading two textbooks, Kirilov’s “Quiver representations and quiver varieties” and Tu’s “Introduction to equivariant cohomology”.
III) I’m participating in a seminar led by Jiuzu Hong and Prakash Belkale on the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. I’m following along but not supremely closely. I may or may not give a presentation.
