About Me
I am currently a postdoc at The University of Wisconsin--Madison. I have the great pleasure of working with Mariya Soskova as part of the Logic Group. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Denis Hirschfeldt and Maryanthe Malliaris.
I am interested in mathematical logic; in particular the interplay between computability theory and model theory. Recently I have been thinking a lot about existentially closed groups.
For more information, see my CV.
