I obtained my PhD at the University of Michigan. My advisors were Michael Zieve and Mircea Mustaţă.
Research
My research deals with many combinatorial and probabilistic phenomena of various algebraic objects. The problems I deal with often include diverse fields in mathematics such as algebraic geometry, combinatorics, number theory, and probability theory.
