About me

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Waterloo, supervised by Aukosh Jagannath. Before Waterloo, I earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Michigan, under the advisement of Jinho Baik.   

My research interests lie in probability theory, with connection to statistical physics. In my recent works, I use tools in random matrix theory and asymptotic theory to study spin glass models.  

I use she/her/hers pronouns. 

Here is my CV.
