Giving a talk on a boat

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. From 2019–2022 I was an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Georgia. I completed my PhD at Stanford in 2015; from 2015–2018 I was an NSF Postdoc at Columbia, and from 2018–2019 I was a member at the Institute for Advanced Study.

I received the 2025 Cathleen Synge Morawetz Prize from the Canadian Mathematical Society and was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2026. I’m supported by an NSERC Discovery Grant, a Sloan Research Fellowship, and an Ontario Early Researcher Award.

Broadly speaking, I am interested in the interplay between algebraic geometry and number theory (and, to a lesser extent, topology). Most of my work has focused on using arithmetic techniques to study classical questions about, for example, complex algebraic varieties. Currently, I am thinking primarily about arithmetic structures on fundamental groups of an algebraic variety, and the relationships between those structures and the geometry of the variety.

This website is largely a place to store my professional work; from time to time, I may also put some non-mathematical writing here.
