I am an assistant professor in the mathematics department at the University of California, San Diego. My research focuses on problems in applied mathematics, with an emphasis on living systems, soft matter and fluid dynamics. A central theme is exploring the role of geometry, topology and information in these systems.
Prior to joining UCSD, I was a Stanford Science Fellow from 2021-2024. I completed my PhD in mathematics at MIT in 2021, where I was advised by Jörn Dunkel. I received a BA and MMath (Part III) from the University of Cambridge in 2016.
