Currently I'm working on a problem about a specific configuration in complex projective space. The configuration allows for a smooth surgery of two transversely intersecting surfaces. These are the slides from my most recent talk at the Redbud Topology Conference - slides.
Geometric Deep Learning (GDL) is a current field that I'm learning. The field aims to use deep learning techniques on non-Euclidean data structures. Naturally, I've now also developed interest in Optimization, Probability and Statistics - in particular, how they allow you to measure, analyze and model data. For this study, I've been learning Python - in particular, using the numpy library. Data analysis is another field that I'm exploring.

As a junior researcher, I'm always looking for problems that are at my grasp. The tough thing about research in a new field is figuring what things to actually look at and what's approachable. I'm so grateful for the NSF for providing this option for the summer. If you're an undergraduate student interested in doing research this summer, send me an email! The application will soon be available here.
