I am a UK Research and Innovation Council Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford's Mathematical Institute and a Junior Research Fellow at St Peter's College. My UKRI grant is `Taut Foliations, Representations, and the Computational Complexity of Knot Genus'.

During 2017–2020, I was a Glasstone Research Fellow in Science at the Mathematical Institute, followed by a Titchmarsh Research Fellowship. Before joining Oxford, I received my PhD from Princeton University working with Professor David Gabai.
