Biography
Originally from Denver, Colorado, I am a PhD student of Mark Grant at the University of Aberdeen. I consider myself a geometrically minded algebraic topologist, and my research interests include the projective span of manifolds (and k-fields on CAT manifolds) and other differential topology questions that can be tackled using obstruction theory. You can visit my personal webpage here.

Twoples Mentorship Program
Mentor/Project Supervisor
Twoples is a directed reading mentorship program for undergraduates from underrepresented groups and/or non-research oriented universities. As a mentor, I work with a motivated undergraduate student on a reading project, culminating in a ten page expository report.
- "Classification of Covering Spaces," with Michael Logal.
- "Classifiation of 1-manifolds," with Julia Knihs.
- "The Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory," with Jovan Vukovic.
- "Which Spheres are Lie Groups" with Andy Gu
- New project TBA with Jakub Hampl
- New project TBA with Ng Jing Rui
