I am a Stephen E. Warschawski Visiting Assistant Professor at UC San Diego, working under the supervision of Jacques Verstraete.
I earned my PhD at the University of Delaware, where I was advised by Sebastian Cioaba and Michael Tait. I completed my undergraduate studies in my home state at the University of Kansas.
My research focuses on extremal combinatorics, spectral graph theory, and algebraic graph theory. Topics I have worked on include pseudorandom graphs, combinatorics of permutations, spectral Turán problems, Sidon sets, and VC-dimension of graphs.
Outside of mathematics, I enjoy birdwatching and chess. Occasionally I pick up the violin.
