I’m a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at Cornell University, advised by Inna Zakharevich.
I enjoy thinking about mathematics at the interface between algebra and topology. In particular, I’m interested in equivariant homotopy theory and algebraic structures that arise therein.
CV (Last updated: March 5, 2024)
I pronounce my last name as “VOH-guh-lee” in English, but it’s really Swiss German in origin.
Some things I’m involved in:
- I organize the Cornell Directed Reading Program along with Alekos Robotis.
- I organize HoMoToPIESS along with Kimball Strong.
