About
Research & academic service
I work in algebraic topology, with a particular interest in higher category theory and its connections to higher K-theory. I received my PhD in 2010 from MIT, advised by Mark Behrens, and was a postdoc from 2010–2013 at the University of Chicago, working with Peter May.
I organize the Collaborative Research Group in Diagram Categories in Homotopy Theory, funded by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences.
I serve as an editor for Orbita Mathematicae and Homology, Homotopy and Applications.
