About Me

I am a mathematician working in the fields of differential geometry and geometric analysis.

I received my PhD in mathematics from the University of British Columbia under the supervision of Sébastien Picard. I obtained a BMath and an MMath, with Spiro Karigiannis supervising the latter, from the University of Waterloo. I also held USRAs mentored by Benoit Charbonneau and Laurent Marcoux during my undergraduate studies there.

As of August 2025, I have started a postdoctoral fellowship at the Chinese University of Hong Kong where I will be working with Lee Man-Chun.

My CV (updated September 2025) can be found here.


Research

My research interests lie in manifolds with special holonomy (SU(3), G2, Spin(7)). I have been working with geometric flows on these manifolds, in particular the Laplacian flow and coflow on G2 manifolds, and the Anomaly flow on Calabi–Yau threefolds. I have recently been looking into different aspects of the Hull–Strominger system from heteroric string theory (in various settings), such as conifold transitions and solutions to the system via Courant algebroids and generalized geometry.

Feel free to get in touch if the work I am doing interests you.
