Some info:
My PhD advisor was Benson Farb at the University of Chicago. Here is my CV(updated 2010). I serve as the Michigan topology seminar organizer.

Research:
Through my research I aim to continue the rich study of asymptotic group theory, find deeper understandings of group theoretic properties through numerical invariants, and explore number theoretic behavior in groups.

Some papers:

Intersection growth in groups, (with Ian Biringer, Martin Kassabov, and Francesco Matucci), available upon request.
Quantifying Mal'cev's Theorem (with D. B. McReynolds), in preparation.
Generalizing Magnus' characterization of free groups to some free products (with Brandon Seward), [PDF] submitted.
Approximating a group by its solvable quotients, [PDF], to appear in NYJM.
Quantifying residual finiteness of arithmetic groups (with Tasho Kaletha) [PDF], to appear in Compos. Math.
Simple closed curves, word length, and nilpotent quotients of free groups (with Asaf Hadari) [PDF], to appear in Pac. J. Math.
Asymptotic growth and least common multiples in groups (with D. B. McReynolds) [PDF], to appear in Bull. London Math. Soc.
Bertrand's postulate and subgroup growth (with D. B. McReynolds) [PDF], J. Algebra 2010.
Parasurface groups [PDF], Pac. J. Math 2010.
Quantifying residual finiteness [PDF, J. Algebra], J. Algebra 2009, website version has some bug fixes.

Teaching:
Math 351 (2011-2012) - Principles of Analysis - UofM
Math 195 (2009-2010) - Multivariable calculus and linear algebra - UofC

Hobbies and other stuff: I enjoy rock climbing, crossfit, table-tennis, and surfing.
