About me
I am a mathematician, currently a Benjamin Peirce Fellow at Harvard. I graduated from my PhD in August 2019 at Northwestern University, under the supervision of Paul Goerss.
My CV is available here. A couple of talks I gave: a short one introducing basic ideas of chromatic homotopy theory and a longer one about its relationship with motives.
I will be at the IAS for the 2022/2023 academic year.

Preprints
Quivers and the Adams spectral sequence (arXiv:2305.08231) - In this joint work with Robert Burklund, we describe a novel way of identifying the second page of the Adams spectral sequence in terms of homological algebra of quiver representations. Our method applies much more broadly than the standard techniques based on descent-flatness, bearing on a varied array of ring spectra. In the particular case of p-local integral homology, we are able to give a decomposition of the second page, describing it completely in terms of the classical Adams spectral sequence. In the appendix, we develop functoriality of deformations of ∞-categories.
Perfect even modules and the even filtration (arXiv:2304.04685) - We introduce a variant of the even filtration which is naturally defined on associative ring spectra and their modules. We show that our variant satisfies flat descent and so agrees with the Hahn-Raksit-Wilson filtration on ring spectra of arithmetic interest, showing that various "motivic" filtrations are in fact invariants of the associative structure alone. We prove that our filtration can be calculated via appropriate resolutions in modules and apply it to the study of even cohomology of connective rings, proving vanishing above the Milnor line, base-change formulas, and explicitly calculating cohomology in low weights.
Dirac geometry II: Coherent cohomology (arXiv:2303.13444) - In this joint work with Lars Hesselholt, we continue our study of the geometry of graded-commutative rings, embedding Dirac schemes from the prequel into the larger ∞-category of Dirac stacks, and developing their coherent cohomology. As applications of the general theory to stable homotopy theory, we use Quillen’s theorem on complex cobordism and Milnor’s theorem on the dual Steenrod algebra to identify the Dirac stacks corresponding to MU and mod p homology in terms of their functors of points.
Adams spectral sequences and Franke's algebraicity conjecture (arXiv:2110.03669) - In this joint work with Irakli Patchkoria, to any well-behaved homology theory we associate a derived ∞-category which encodes its Adams spectral sequence. As applications, we prove a conjecture of Franke on algebraicity of certain homotopy categories and establish homotopy-coherent monoidality of the Adams filtration.
On dualizable objects in monoidal bicategories, framed surfaces and the Cobordism Hypothesis (arXiv:1411.6691) - I prove coherence theorems related to dualizability in symmetric monoidal bicategories, classify two-dimensional framed topological field theories and give a new proof of the Cobordism Hypothesis in dimension two. This paper was written as my Master's thesis at Bonn University and was supervised by Christopher Schommer-Pries. The first part of the paper was already published, see above.

I love spending time with my dogs, though unfortunately, they live in Poland. Here's a picture of one of them, Ida.
