About Me

I am a PhD student in the Mathematics Department at Northeastern University, advised by Jose Perea.

Here is my CV.

Before coming to Boston, I completed my MA and BA in Mathematics at the University at Albany, SUNY, where I worked with Michael Lesnick.

My research centers on the mathematical foundations of topological data analysis. I am particularly interested in properties of density-aware constructions within multiparameter persistent homology, and in the stability of circular coordinates arising from persistent cohomology.

Before turning to mathematics, I studied jazz saxophone performance at Temple University Boyer College of Music in Philadelphia, under Dick Oatts.

I am originally from Clifton Park, New York.
