About

I am an assistant professor at UC Davis.

Before arriving at UC Davis, I was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT and University of Michigan, and a President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA. My faculty mentors were Alex Postnikov, Sergey Fomin, and Igor Pak, respectively. I received my PhD from UC Berkeley in May 2021, under the guidance of Lauren Williams.

I am interested in algebraic combinatorics, particularly the combinatorics of total positivity and related fields, like cluster algebras, Richardson varieties, and amplituhedra.
