I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma.
I received my PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011, under the supervision of Wolfgang Ziller.
My research interests include:

• Symmetry of Riemannian manifolds, in particular polar group actions;
• Non-negative sectional curvature and a variant called strongly non-negative curvature;
• Singular Riemannian foliations, especially in round spheres;
• Minimal surfaces
