ABOUT
Originally from Denver, Colorado, I am a PhD student of Mark Grant at the University of Aberdeen. I consider myself a geometrically-minded algebraic topologist, and my research interests include line fields on manifolds and other differential topology questions which can be tackled using obstruction theory.
