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, especially problems involving polytopes, graphs, and simplicial complexes.

Earlier, I completed a BS-MS in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research (IISER), Pune, during which I spent my final year as a visiting student at The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai.

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

Here is my CV.
