I am a mathematics PhD student at Emory University. I'm advised by Sasha Polyanskii. I started in Fall of 2022.
I completed a MA in mathematics at Villanova in 2022, where I worked with Mike Tait. Before this I completed a BA in mathematics at Swarthmore College.
Research interests: discrete and convex geometry, extremal combinatorics, additive combinatorics.
