Biography
Originally from Denver, Colorado, I am a PhD student of Mark Grant at the University of Aberdeen. I consider myself a geometrically minded algebraic topologist, and my research interests include the (projective) span of manifolds and other differential topology questions that can be tackled using obstruction theory. I am also interested in vector fields on non-smoothable manifolds. You can visit my personal webpage here.

Research Overview
Mark Grant and I have recently published a paper Projective Span of Wall manifolds, Bol. Soc. Mat. Mex. 30 no. 75 (2024).
I am currently preparing a paper with Cihan Bahran about CAT 2-fields and 3-fields on orientable 4k-dimensional CAT-manifolds. I am also preparing a paper with Nikola Sadovek about complex projective span.

Twoples Mentorship Program
Mentor/Project Supervisor
Twoples is a directed reading mentorship program for undergraduates from underrepresented groups and/or non-research oriented universities. As a mentor, I work with a motivated undergraduate student on a reading project, culminating in a ten page expository report.
- "Classification of Covering Spaces," with Michael Logal.
- "Classifiation of 1-manifolds," with Julia Knihs.
- "The Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory," with Jovan Vukovic.
- "Which Spheres are Lie Groups" with Andy Gu
- "Homology of Lens Spaces," with Jakub Hampl
- "Introduction to Torsion of CW Complexes," with Ng Jing Rui
