As of June 2nd 2025, I have successfully completed my doctorate in mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am currently seeking employment in a data science or quantitative financial field.

My undergraduate studies took place at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (class of 2018). I am primarily interested in algebra and combinatorics (particularly focusing on Lie Algebra properties and algebraic graph theory), and I spend my spare time doing improvisational comedy, rock climbing, and solving and making logic puzzles.

My PhD advisor is Paul Terwilliger.

CV: attached in the corresponding tab (note: I had a number of math conferences I had planned to attend in 2020 and 2021 that were canceled for obvious reasons).
