I am a sixth-year PhD student at UC Berkeley. My interests are in symplectic and contact geometry and interactions with low-dimensional topology, specifically in using Floer homologies to understand Reeb dynamics on contact three-manifolds and the symplectic geometry of two- and four-manifolds. My thesis advisor is Michael Hutchings.
Beginning Fall 2019 I will be a Lovett Instructor in the Department of Mathematics at Rice University.
Here is my CV and research statement.
Research
-
Mean action of periodic orbits of area-preserving annulus diffeomorphisms, arXiv: 1810.05091. We prove that many annulus symplectomorphisms have periodic points with constraints on their local geometry.
- Slides from a talk I gave as a participant at the 2018 Topology Students Workshop on the research for "Mean aciton of periodic orbits of area-preserving annulus diffeomorphisms."
- Pattern avoidance in poset permutations, arXiv: 1208.5718, with Sam Hopkins. Order July 2016, Volume 33, Issue 2, pp 299–310. We extend the concept of permutation pattern avoidance to partially ordered sets.
