BIO
I received my Ph.D. from Columbia in 2008 under the supervision of Peter Ozsvath. My thesis is a compilation of results on Heegaard Floer homology, contact structures and open books. I am currently in the middle of a three year joint postdoc at Princeton and the Institute for Advanced Study, and I am partially supported by an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship. Next spring, I will be at MSRI as a Research Member for one month to participate in the Homology Theories of Knots and Links program.
Apart from math, I am pretty into Ultimate (or, "Ultimate Frisbee," if you prefer; though, technically, the sport is not allowed to use the trademarked term "Frisbee"). I play on the top New York club team, PoNY. Last year, we finished the season ranked 14th in North America.
