Short Bio

I am an assistant professor at Auburn University. Previously, I was a research associate at Michigan State University, where I worked with Guowei Wei. Before that, I held a postdoctoral position at the University of California, Los Angeles, where I worked with Shantanu Joshi. I earned my Ph.D. from Florida State University under the supervision of Eric Klassen and Martin Bauer.

My research applies differential geometry to topological data analysis and shape analysis. I am interested in developing geometric and topological methods and computational tools for data analysis and machine learning. In particular, my work focuses on topological data analysis on manifolds through de Rham–Hodge theory and on the geometric analysis of curves and surfaces, with applications to statistics on manifolds.
