Ultimately, this page aspires to nothingness. Over time, as the purpose for its existence has come increasingly into question, its level of adornment has tended to zero.

I'm a graduate of the '99 class of Williams College, and am currently a graduate student at the University of Michigan. I studied math and astrophysics at Williams, and am getting a Ph.D. from the math department at Michigan. I'm writing a thesis at Michigan under the direction of Igor Kriz, and my field of specialty is algebraic topology, particularly homotopy theory. I'm also interested in mathematical physics.

Here are two of the few pictures of me worth putting on this page.

More soon. Maybe.
