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 stable homotopy theory,
- algebraic K-theory, and
- homological aspects of finite group theory.

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