Student Homotopy Theory Seminar: I am the founder of the Student Homotopy Theory Seminar at the University of Michigan and was the organizer from 2017 to 2020.

Student Geometry & Topology Seminar: I was a co-organizer of the Student Geometry & Topology Seminar at the University of Michigan from Fall 2017 to Winter 2019.

Homotopy Type Theory Reading Seminar: In the Winter semester of 2018, I was part of a reading seminar on homotopy type theory at the University of Michigan. This included, for example, reading Kapulkin-Lumsdaine’s The Simplicial Model of Univalent Foundations (after Voevodsky).
