I’m a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at Cornell University, advised by Inna Zakharevich. I will be on the postdoctoral job market in the fall of 2025.

I enjoy thinking about mathematics at the interface between algebra and topology. My research focuses on algebraic K-theory, homological stability, and equivariant stable homotopy theory.

CV (Last updated: August 29, 2025)

I pronounce my last name as “VOH-guh-lee” in English, but it’s really Swiss German in origin.
