CV

I am a James H. Simons Instructor at Stony Brook University. Previously I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Columbia University with Mohammed Abouzaid, funded by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.

I received my PhD in Mathematics from Uppsala University in 2021 under supervision of Tobias Ekholm.

Research

I am working in the field of symplectic and contact geometry. My work is focused on Floer theory and symplectic field theory. I am also interested in interactions and applications to neighboring fields such as string topology and low-dimensional topology.
