I am an NSF postdoc at the University of Maryland. I study hyperbolic geometry and low-dimensional topology. I am currently interested in the local topology of deformation spaces of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and also group actions on PSL(2,C) character varieties. In my graduate work at Michigan, advised by Richard Canary, I found that in many cases these deformation spaces fail to be locally connected. See my research page for more information.

Slides from some recent presentations that I have given are available here.
