About Me

My research interests involve combining probability, combinatorics and topology. Recently, I have studied the topology of random cell complexes arising from percolation models. I recently finished my PhD at Ohio State under the supervision of Matthew Kahle. In the fall of 2022 I will be a postdoctoral researcher at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, mentored by Gil Kalai and Yuval Peled. My CV can be found here (updated 8/22).
