About Me

I am a PhD student in the Mathematics Department at Northeastern University, advised by Jose Perea. My research centers on the mathematical foundations of topological data analysis.

Here is my CV.

Before coming to Boston, I completed my MA and BA in Mathematics at the University at Albany, SUNY, where I worked with Michael Lesnick.

Before turning to mathematics, I studied jazz saxophone performance at Temple University Boyer College of Music in Philadelphia, under Dick Oatts.

I am originally from Clifton Park, New York.
