Graduate student in mathematics
Hi there! I am a second-year Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Washington, Seattle. I work with Jarod Alper and Sara Billey. I am interested in the intersection of algebraic geometry, homotopy theory, and combinatorics. Recently, I became interested in visualizing mathematics using 3D printing.
I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania in 2023. I doubled majored in mathematics and linguistics. I also received an M.A. in Applied Math & Computer Science (AMCS). Outside of mathematics, I like playing tennis, basketball, and I am a huge language maniac.
