Starting in August 2013, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Ohio State University (OSU) Newark.
I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Purdue University, working in the research group of J.E. McClure.
In 2010 -- 2012 I was a Homotopy Theory Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario, working in the research group of J.F. Jardine.
In 2008 -- 2010 I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Institut de Géométrie, Algèbre et Topologie at EPFL in Switzerland, working in the research group of K. Hess.
In 2003 -- 2008 I was working on my Ph.D. in Mathematics under the guidance and training of W.G. Dwyer. These were an amazing and terrific five years of mathematical explorations and discussions that enormously influenced my tastes and approach to mathematics and mathematical research.

About my research

The area I am interested in is homotopy theory and algebraic topology, and their interactions with related areas in mathematics---for instance, algebra, algebraic number theory, algebraic K-theory, algebraic geometry, and geometric topology.
