Varun Shah | वरुण शाह

I am a second-year PhD student in mathematics at the University of Washington, advised by Isabella Novik. I am interested in combinatorics and discrete geometry, with a focus on extremal and enumerative questions involving polytopes, graphs, and simplicial complexes.

Earlier, I completed a BS-MS in mathematics from the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research (IISER), Pune. 

When not thinking about math, I’m usually rock climbing, reading (mostly murder mysteries and history), collecting obscure trivia, or attempting to brew the perfect cup of coffee.

Here is my CV.
