About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Grinnell College. My research interests primarily lie in Theory of Computation and Mathematical Logic.
In 2025, I completed my Ph.D. at the Center for Applied Mathematics at Cornell University, where I had the great pleasure of being advised by Dexter Kozen.
Prior to starting at Cornell, I received my Masters in Mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania. Before that, I received my Bachelors in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Logic, also from the University of Pennsylvania, where I graduated summa cum laude.
Outside of research, I am passionate about teaching and have received teaching awards from the Computer Science departments of both Cornell (2022) and Penn (2018).
