Research Interests

My research broadly falls within the fields of algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and homotopy theory. In particular, I am interested in understanding chromatic homotopy theory using tools from spectral arithmetic geometry, such as elliptic cohomology.

Research Description

My current research concerns isogenies of oriented elliptic curves and the construction and properties of Hecke operators on elliptic cohomology. Ultimately, I hope to develop a theory of topological modular Galois representations, which will play a role in the Chromatic Langlands Program.

Education

BA in Mathematics (Minor in Physics) at UC Berkeley, May 2019

MS in Mathematics at UIUC, August 2021

Grants

In the academic year 2026–2027, I am being supported by the Illinois Campus Research Board's grant RB26035.
