Welcome!

I am currently a J.L Doob Research Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Before that, I was a graduate student at the Ohio State University. I received my PhD from Ohio State in Spring 2023, advised by Dave Anderson.

My research interests lie in the intersection of algebraic geometry and combinatorics. I am especially interested in Hilbert schemes, toric varieties, Schubert calculus, and Newton-Okounkov bodies. 

I am a co-organizer of the University of Illinois Algebra-Geometry-Combinatorics Seminar and the Early-Career Conference in Combinatorics (June 3-7, 2024).
