In 2024, I completed my PhD at the University of California, Santa Cruz under the supervision of Beren Sanders. Before coming to UC Santa Cruz I received my B.S. in Mathematics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, as well as a minor in Physics.

In my free time I like to:

• Cook/Bake! Some selected favorites of mine include: Challah (pronounced Khallah), Carrot Cake, Pizza (in my little ooni oven), Kugel, and tacos de papa.
  
• Read! In particular I am a big advocate for Yiddish literature (so much has been translated into English) and have many suggestions for people to read if anyone is interested!
  
• Spend time with my lovely wife Yaneli and our silly looking, toothless Cocker Spaniel Lala.
