ABOUT ME
I am a PhD student in mathematics at Stanford University. My mathematical interests are in analysis and geometry. Currently, I am working in microlocal analysis, with a particular focus on the edge calculus and elliptic edge boundary value problems.
I hold a bachelor's degree with a major in mathematics, First Class Honours, and a University Medal, from the Australian National University (ANU). In 2021, under the supervision of Dr. James Tener, I wrote my Honours thesis on II1 subfactors, a topic in the theory of operator algebras. You can find a digital copy here.
I also have a side interest in quantum computing. During my undergraduate studies, I undertook two research projects in quantum computing under the supervision of Dr. Marcus Doherty at the ANU Research School of Physics. In February-July 2022, I worked for Quantum Brilliance, an Australian-German quantum computing hardware company.
I also write about popular science and mathematics. I used to write for Woroni, the ANU student newspaper. You can read my writing here.
I grew up in Canberra, Australia's 'bush capital', where I also attended university.
