Visiting Assistant Professor OSU Math
About me
I am a Visiting Assistant Professor as part of the RTG "Arithmetic, Combinatorics, and Topology of Algebraic Varieties" at the Ohio State University.
Previously, I was postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, and at the Hausdorff Institute for Mathematics for a Junior Trimester program. I completed my PhD in June 2023 at Dartmouth College, under the supervision of Asher Auel.
My research is focused on Brill—Noether theory, vector bundles and linear systems on K3 surfaces, limit linear series and degenerations of curves, and cubic fourfolds; most recently on understanding the relative positions of Brill—Noether loci in $\mathcal{M}_g$ and unstable Lazarsfeld—Mukai bundles associated to Brill—Noether special linear systems on curves.
In my previous life as a physical chemist, I received my BA/MA from Brandeis University, with Bing Xu.

I firmly believe Federico Ardila's basic axioms:
- Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is equally present in different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
- Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
- Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
- Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
