NSF Postdoctoral Fellow
Department of Mathematics
Rutgers University–Newark

I like thinking about topics related to outer automorphisms of free groups and mapping classes of surface diffeomorphisms. I’m curious about geometric topology, geometric group theory, Teichmüller theory, tropical geometry, orbifolds, cube complexes, etc.
