I am a Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor in the mathematics deparment at Grinnell College. I do research in algebraic topology with a focus on equivariant homotopy theory. A lot of my research involves trying to compute and understand algebraic invariants for spaces endowed with an action by some fixed finite group. Check out my "Research" tab for more information and links to my papers.
I am on research leave during the 2026-2027 academic school year.
Before Grinnell I did lots of math on the West Coast. From 2020-2023 I was a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor at UCLA in the mathematics department working with Mike Hill. I was also involved with the electronic Computational Homotopy Theory (eCHT) online research community and supported as a National Science Foundation (NSF) eCHT Reasearch Training Group Postdoctoral Fellow. Before that I was a graduate student at Univeristy of Oregon from 2014-2020. I finished my PhD in 2020 at the University of Oregon under the supervision of Dan Dugger.
My "Teaching" tab has information about my current and past courses taught at Grinnell, UCLA, and UO.
Here is a copy of my CV (last updated: September 2026).
