Past employment
Past employment
From April, 2023 to January, 2026, I was a senior research associate at the Institute of Probability, Dynamics and Analysis, a research unit within the School of Mathematics at University of Bristol. This was a postdoctoral position supervised by Márton Balázs and funded by his EPSRC grant EP/W032112/1 titled "Particle systems, growth models and their probabilistic structures". In this period, I was also a co-organizer of the Bristol Probability Seminar, previously with Jessica Jay and then with Erin Russell and Luke Turvey.
Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2022, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher within the Random Matrices, Stochastic Models and Analysis group at KTH under the supervision of Kurt Johansson. During this time, I was involved in the organization of the Random Matrix Theory Seminar at KTH along initially with Diane Holcomb , and then with Maurice Duits and Kevin Schnelli.
I moved to Stockholm from Pittsburgh, PA in January, 2019. Previously, I held a postdoctoral position at Carnegie Mellon University with Steven Shreve as my mentor. Before that, I completed my graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in August, 2016. My PhD advisor was Timo Seppäläinen.

In 2025, together with Márton Balázs and Jessica Jay, I co-advised University of Bristol students Ruby Bestwick and Artem Borisov on their summer research project on the local convergence of t-PNG model.
In 2018, I advised CMU undergraduate students Bryan Ding and Zilin Wang on their summer research project titled Constructing Local Volatility Surfaces to Price Options.
