Starting July 2026, I am an NSF postdoc at UC Berkeley. I just finished my PhD in math at Stanford, advised by Richard Taylor. I previously did my undergrad at Harvard, and Part III at Cambridge.

My research interests are in algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry. I’m broadly interested in the Langlands program, although I’ve been recently focused on p-adic automorphic forms, eigenvarieties, and Galois representations.

I can be reached at firstinitial k lastinitial at berkeley dot edu.
