I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at Michigan State University. My postdoctoral mentor is Teena Gerhardt. My main interests are Algebraic Topology, Stable Homotopy Theory, Algebraic K-theory, Higher Category Theory, and Theoretical Computer Science.
From 2020-2023, I was a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania, where my postdoctoral mentor was Mona Merling.
From 2015-2020, I was a PhD student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, my advisor was Brooke Shipley.
From 2010-2015, I was a Bachelor and a Master student at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). I wrote my Master thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as a visiting student, advised by Haynes Miller, under the supervision of Kathryn Hess.
