Hi there! I am a fourth year math graduate student (PhD candidate) at University of Minnesota working with Vic Reiner.
Generally, I am interested in combinatorial commutative algebra and algebraic combinatorics. I enjoy working with matroids and their Chow rings, as well as dealing with questions of equivariance.
I received both BA and an MA degrees at San Francisco State University. My masters thesis was advised by Dusty Ross.
Recent/Upcoming Talks & Travel
October 21 – 25: attending Geometry of Matroids workshop at Institute for Advanced Study

Axioms
I firmly believe in and try my best to uphold the following axioms, laid out by Federico Ardila:
Mathematical talent is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
I am passionate about making mathematics a more welcoming space for students historically underrepresented in academia.
I pronounce my name as a-nuh-STAY-zhah (ænəˈsteɪʒə phonetically) although this changes if I'm not speaking English.
