About Me

My research interests involve combining probability, combinatorics and topology. Recently, I have been studying the random cell complexes arising from percolation models and their applications to statistical physics. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University, hosted by Russell Lyons. I was previously a postdoctoral fellow at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem hosted by Yuval Peled and Gil Kalai, and before that I completed my PhD at Ohio State in 2022 under the supervision of Matthew Kahle. My CV can be found here (updated 9/24).
