climbing in the Gunks

I’m a Phd Candidate at Cornell University, advised by Inna Zakharevich. I am on the postdoctoral job market in the 2025-2026 academic year.

My research is focused in weak higher category theory (e.g. \(\infty\)-categories) and strict higher category theory (e.g. \(\omega\)-categories) and the interplay betwen the two.
