About

I am an assistant professor at UC Davis. 

I am interested in algebraic combinatorics, particularly the combinatorics of total positivity (and its generalizations) and cluster algebras. Some topics of recent interest are Richardson and braid varieties and their cluster structures, amplituhedra, tropical positive flag varieties.

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. I received my PhD from UC Berkeley in May 2021.
