Arithmetic geometry in positive characteristic

I am an Allen Ziebur Visiting Assistant Professor at Binghamton University. My research focuses on wildly ramified Galois covers of curves, especially questions about their families and moduli. I use tools from higher ramification theory, higher class field theory, and non-archimedean geometry.

I earned my PhD from the University of Virginia in May 2020 under the supervision of Andrew Obus. Before Binghamton, I held postdoctoral appointments at NCTS Taipei, VIASM, and the Institute of Mathematics at VAST.

My recent work studies deformations and moduli of cyclic covers in positive characteristic, together with developments in Kummer–Artin–Schreier–Witt theory.
