BIOGRAPHY

I am a NSF postdoctoral fellow and G.C. Evans Instructor at Rice University, mentored by David Fisher. In 2024, I completed my PhD under the supervision of Alex Eskin, supported by a GFSP award. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a bachelors of science in 2018. Generically, I study measure classification and rigidity in partially hyperbolic systems, approaching the smooth dynamical setting with the tools of homogeneous dynamics. In off time, I enjoy bookbinding.
