About Me

I was a postdoc at Georgia Tech, working with Matt Baker until July 2026. Previously, I earned my Ph.D. from Brandeis University under the supervision of Olivier Bernardi. I am currently looking for a job in academia.

I am interested in the interplay of combinatorics, geometry, and algebra. My recent work focuses on

My CV.
