I am a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) studying algebraic geometry.
My advisor is Julius Ross.
This semester (Spring 2024), I am teaching Math 220 Differential Equations
Office hours (Spring 2024): Tu 1-2 pm, Th 2-3 pm, or by appointment at MSLC
Research
My research interests are algebraic geometry and algebraic combinatorics. I study positivity and stability of vector bundles on algebraic varieties, and their combinatorics under the toric geometry setting. I am also working on a project on Schur positivity for symmetric polynomials.
Papers
(in preparation) Schur positivity of difference of products of derived Schur polynomials
Stability of the canonical extension of tangent bundles on Picard-rank-1 Fano varieties
