My research interests are in topology, category theory, and engineering. Specifically differential topology, Morse Theory, sheaves, parametric graphs, tropical geometry, and space networking. I am also interested in teaching, open access research, and making mathematics accessible.

At Colorado State I co-organize the FA23 Greenslopes seminar with Sam Scheuerman, am the finance chair for the CSU AMS student chapter, and attend Topology Seminar and Category Theory Seminar.
