I am a fourth-year graduate student in mathematics at Brown University. My advisors are Melody Chan and Bernd Sturmfels. Before this, I was an undergraduate student in mathematics and computer science at Harvard University.

I study combinatorial algebraic geometry. I like moduli spaces of curves and abelian varieties, both classical and tropical. I am interested in toroidal compactifications of moduli spaces that appear in the framework of Shimura varieties. I also like to think about positive geometries from particle physics!

Here is my CV.
