I am a Hermann-Weyl Instructor at ETH Zürich, Department of Mathematics, Zürich, Switzerland. My mentor is Paul Biran.

I completed my PhD from the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University, under the supervision of Yasha Eliashberg in 2021.

I work in Symplectic geometry. I like thinking about moduli spaces of holomorphic curves and using them to understand various structures in the symplectic world, like Lagrangian embeddings in R^4. I also like thinking about technical analysis relating to moduli spaces, like obstruction bundle gluing.

Here are some words that hint to what I like to think about these days: Lagrangian cobordisms, knots, moduli spaces of holomorphic curves, holomorphic disks with corners and boundary on Lagrangians, obstruction bundle gluing, Floer homologies, Front diagrams of higher dimensional Legendrians, Weinstein handles.
