I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at Massey University, New Zealand. My research interests center on geometry and topology as I consider graduate opportunities.

Currently, I'm studying tools in topology, geometry, and differential equations, with a research focus on mean curvature flow and extrinsic geometric flows. I received a $6,000 grant to study dimension reduction for border collision bifurcations in dynamical systems.

Outside academics, I serve as Director of APSI Forum, an organization advising governments including Hong Kong and Singapore. My goal is to scale this internationally to finance capital intensive projects.

I believe mathematics is beautiful in itself. Asking “what's the application?” misses the point. The better question is “why is this so interesting?”
