About me

I am a fifth year mathematics PhD student at Stanford University.
I am being advised by Alex Wright (University of Michigan) and Steve Kerckhoff (Stanford University).
I am particularly interested in Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, and dynamics on moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces.
