Biography

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University focusing on low-dimensional topology. My research explores the interactions between Heegaard Floer homology, Khovanov homology, knot theory, and contact geometry. I obtained my Ph.D. from Boston College in 2023, where I was advised by John Baldwin. My work aims to deepen the understanding of the intricate relationships present in low-dimensional manifolds and their geometrical properties, opening pathways for new discoveries in the field.
