Assistant Teaching Professor (2025–) at Northeastern University. PhD in Theoretical Computer Science.

Likes math; particularly discrete combinatorial stuff, probability, high dimensional shenanigans, etc. but also other things. Likes almost every place where math shows up in computer science.

Emacs user and there are too many features and packages I love.

LaTeX, beamer and TikZ are great.

Has at some point dabbled in sudokus, rubik's cubes and chess among many other things.

Cats.

I'm a mathematical physicist who likes explaining stuff. I'm the Maxwell Fellow of Public Engagement at the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh.

Check out my blog Azimuth! I'm also a member of the n-Category Café, a group blog on math with an emphasis on category theory. I also have a YouTube channel, full of talks about math, physics and the future.
