I'm a Dickson Instructor and NSF Postdoc at the University of Chicago.
Before that I was a graduate student at Princeton where my advisor was Fernando Coda Marques.
My office is Eckhart 408B.

Research interests:
Differential Geometry, Minimal Surfaces, Hyperbolic Geometry, Dynamical Systems, Scalar Curvature, k-Surfaces, Locally Symmetric Spaces.
Much of my work is focused on rigidity phenomena, in a variety of different geometric situations.
