I am Junior Fellow of the Simons Society of Fellows in the department of mathematics at Columbia University, hosted by Andrei Okounkov. Previously, I received my PhD in physics from the University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of Mina Aganagic. Here is my CV.

I am interested in Fukaya categories and their applications to (categorical) representation theory and knot homology.
