I am organizing various seminars and conferences at the moment, please see the details below.
I am currently at UC Berkeley as Charles B. Morrey Visiting Assistant Professor. Starting Jan 2026 I will be joining the mathematics department at the University of British Columbia as (tenure track) Assistant Professor.
Prior to this I was a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA under the mentorship of Raphaël Rouquier and a Berlekamp Postdoctoral Fellow at MSRI for the Higher Categories and Categorification program in Spring 2020. I finished my PhD in 2019 at the University of Southern California under the supervision of Aaron Lauda and Sami Assaf.
Most of my work is in algebraic combinatorics and representation theory, with applications to link homology theory.

Current Organizational Activities
I organize the UC Berkeley Combinatorics Research Seminar with John Leftner, Mitsuki Hanada, and Christian Gaetz. Updated schedule of talks is available here.
In Fall 2025 will be organizing a semester on Categorification and Computation in Algebraic Combinatorics at ICERM alongside Chris Bowman, Nicolas Liebedinsky, Lauren Williams, Greta Panova, Rosa Orellana, Kyu-Hwan Lee, Jamie Vicary, Anna Schilling, and Adam Wagner. Information on how to participate is here.
Some Past Events:
In Fall 2023 I organized the combinatorics reading seminar at UC Berkeley on Quantum Groups and Crystal Graphs. Website is here.
I organized an in person workshop on Algebra, geometry, and combinatorics of link homology at the American Institute of Math with Eugene Gorsky, Matt Hogancamp, Oscar Kivinen, and Alexei Oblomkov in Summer 2023. Information is HERE. Previously, we organized a related online research community. Recordings of that can be found here.
Im Spring 2023 co-organized the combinatorics reading seminar at UC Berkeley alongside Chris Ryba on the Okounkov-Vershik approach to the representation theory of the symmetric group. For the reading schedule, notes, and information click HERE.
I organized a conference on Field theories and vertex algebras with Raphaël Rouquier on October 2-5th 2022. Website is HERE.
I organized a learning seminar on categorification with Ben Elias, Mikhail Khovanov and Melissa Zhang. Previous recordings of the talks can be found HERE.
I am co-organized a special session at the 2021 Mathematical Congress of the Americas focused on "Categorification, Higher Representation Theory, and Homological Link Invariants" with Matt Hogancamp and Karina Batistelli on July 19-24, 2021.
I co-organized the UC Riverside Diversity and Excellence Workshop focused on Women in Combinatorics and Representation Theory alongside Vyjayanthi Chari and Zajj Daugherty on May 15-16, 2021. For more information visit the website HERE.
In Fall 2020 I co-organized the combinatorics reading seminar at UC Berkeley alongside Foster Tom and Sylvie Corteel on q,t-Catalan numbers, diagonal harmonics, and the combinatorics behind the Shuffle conjecture. For the reading schedule, notes, videos, and information click HERE.
