I am an assistant professor of mathematics at the National University of Singapore. I am interested in symplectic topology, homological mirror symmetry and Floer homotopy theory. Previously, I was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Edinburgh, supported by Nick Sheridan's grant, and before that a math instructor at Princeton University. I have received my PhD from MIT in June 2019 under the supervision of Paul Seidel.

With Andrew Blumberg and Laurent Côté, I have co-organized a conference on Homotopy theory and Floer homology at the Mittag-Leffler Institute during June 23-27, 2025. With Darrick Lee, I have recently co-organized a learning seminar on Hodge Theory for Cellular and Network Sheaves.
