I am a fourth year Ph.D. student advised by Dan Christensen at the University of Western Ontario. My research interests relate to homotopy type theory, higher topos theory, and algebraic topology. I am also interested in formal verification, and I contribute to the Coq-HoTT library.
Previously I studied at NTNU (MSc) and at EPFL (BSc).

In Summer '22, I was a teaching assistant for the HoTTEST Summer School 2022.
Since Fall '21, I have been the lead organizer of the Directed Reading Program at Western. Before becoming an organizer, I mentored the following projects:
I am the founder of the SOGS Running Club for graduate students at Western. During Winter 2023, our weekly runs are Mondays and Thursdays at 4:00pm. We meet by the entrance of the Western Recreation Center, and we usually do around 5-6km in under an hour. The runs are meant to be social, and runners of all experience levels are welcome! Send me an email (see below) and I'll invite you to our mailing list and group chat for updates and events.
