Curriculum Vitae

ABOUT ME

I am a sixth year graduate student in Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.  My advisor is Ian Agol.
My interests are Geometry and Topology.  I passed my qual on March 20, 2014. Here is the transcript of what I was asked.
I graduated from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú in 2011 with a BA .  I am originally from Lima, Perú.
I am the GSI of Math 16B sections 101, 105 and 109 for the present semester (Spring 2018). My office hours are Monday 3:30-4:30pm & Friday 4-5pm
This Summer 2018 I will be leading a Research Experience for Undergraduates, focusing on Fundamental Domains of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
