About me:

I am a software engineer at Phaidra.

I got my math PhD at University of Michigan under Sergey Fomin. I subsequently did postdocs at IUPUI, University of Minnesota, and Michigan State University.

Math interests:

Algebraic combinatorics and representation theory, with a focus on cluster algebras and total positivity.

I taught a course on these topics in 2020, the course notes might be a useful reference.

Here are my CV, my arXiv preprints, and my Google scholar page.
