About

I am a second year math PhD student at UC Berkeley advised by David Nadler. My interests include category theory, algebraic geometry and homotopy theory. Previously, I did my undergraduate and masters at the University of Cambridge.

I passed my Qualifying Exam on December 11th, 2024. A copy of my syllabus and transcript can be found here.
