I am a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at King's College London.

During 2017–2021, I was at the University of Oxford first as a Glasstone Research Fellow in Science, followed by a Titchmarsh Research Fellowship, and then a UK Research and Innovation Council Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. My UKRI grant is `Taut Foliations, Representations, and the Computational Complexity of Knot Genus'.

I received my PhD from Princeton University in 2017 under the supervision of Professor David Gabai.
