*** I'm in the academic job market right now (for positions begining in Fall 2026)! ***
Here's my Research Statement and Teaching Statement.
Since July 2023, I'm a Benjamin Peirce Fellow (postdoc) at Harvard University, mentored by Prof. Dan Freed and supported in part by Simons Collaboration on Global Categorical Symmetries. Previously, I was a postdoc at UT Austin from August 2022 to May 2023.
I got my PhD in Mathematics in June 2022 at Caltech, where I studied quantum topology and physical mathematics under the supervision of Prof. Sergei Gukov.
Here is my Curriculum Vitae.

I'm a mathematician, and I enjoy studying geometric and algebraic structures inspired from physics.
My research interests include:
- Topological quantum field theories (TQFTs)
- Complex Chern-Simons theory, $q$-series invariants of 3-manifolds, quantum groups, and categorification
- Topological string theory and skein-valued count of holomorphic curves
- Landau-Ginzburg models, holomorphic Morse theory, and resurgence
- Foam evaluation and link homologies
- Skein modules and their generalizations, factorization and blob homology
