About me

I am a postdoctoral fellow at Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany.
I spent the 2018-2021 academic years as a research fellow at IBS Center for Geometry and Physics.
I received Ph.D. in 2018 from University of Minnesota under the supervision of Craig Westerland.

My interests lie at the intersection of algebraic geometry and algebraic topology. Particularly, I like to think about the topology of algebraic spaces originating from moduli problems e.g. the moduli space of fibered algebraic surfaces, moduli space of morphisms between certain varieties/stacks. And their arithmetic implications as enumerating curves and abelian varieties over global function fields.

Here are my profiles on MathSciNet, ZbMATH, arXiv and Curriculum Vitæ.
