About:
I’m a first-year PhD student in mathematics at the University of California, Riverside. I earned my bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics from UC Berkeley, where I completed my honors thesis under the guidance of Dr. Rachel Webb. Before beginning my PhD, I attended the summer school program at IMPA, and was a member of the Wolfram Science Winter School in 2023.
Mathematical interests:
My main areas of interest include logic, category theory, representation theory, and algebraic geometry.
Outside of math:
Music: I’ve been playing the piano and the guitar for about 15 years. My favorite classical composers are Chopin and Bach. I also love (Brazilian) Samba and Choro and enjoy composing music of my own. The band that got me into music was Pink Floyd.
Sports: I regularly play football (soccer), footvolley, tennis, and table tennis. I occasionally like to go bodysurfing, bowling, snowboarding, and rock climbing.
Philosophy: Classical greek, epistemology, analytic philosophy, philosophical logic, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophy of science.
