I studied mathematics and computer engineering in Southern California. When I graduated I worked as an engineer at Western Digital for a few years while taking graduate courses in mathematics in the afternoons. I was then accepted to the Berlin Mathematical School with funding for two years and studied algebraic topology under Holger Reich. I’m currently doing research in applied topology in New York under Justin Curry.

…and coursework
Coursework : Algebraic Geometry, (Co)Sheaf Theory, Schubert Calculus, Differential Geometry, Reflection Groups, Multiparameter Persistence, Lie Groups, Lie Algebras, Commutative Algebra.
My duties include
Coursework : Analysis and Geometry on Manifolds, Classical Geometries, Commutative Algebra, Algebraic Geometry (1. Varieties, 2. Schemes), Topology (1. General, 2. (Co)Homology, 3. Homotopy Theory, 4. Simplicial Homotopy Theory, 5. Stable Homotopy Theory), Discrete Mathematics.
Qualifying Exam: I passed my oral qualifying exam (with Reich/Vogt/Labbé) on Homotopy Theory, Spectral Sequences and Combinatorics on January 25, 2018 with a 1.66 (German grading scale).
Thesis : My thesis was on spectral sequences arising from covers of spaces, such as the Mayer-Vietoris spectral sequence for singular homology, and an associated homotopy colimit spectral sequence.
