Previously, I was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow and Zorn Postdoctoral Fellow at Indiana University and a Postdoctoral Research and Teaching Associate at the University of Georgia. I earned my PhD in Mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Cameron McA. Gordon in May, 2014.
My research interests include manifold theory and knot theory in dimensions three and four. Recently, I have been studying an assortment of low-dimensional objects: trisections of 4-manifolds, bridge trisections of surfaces in 4-manifolds, fibered ribbon disks, doubly slice knots, and knots with Seifert fibered Dehn surgeries. My research is currently supported by the NSF Focused Research Grant DMS-1758087, as well as the NSF Research in Undergraduate Institutions grant DMS-2006029.
