Side Interests: Algebraic Topology, Algebraic Combinatorics


My main research currently involves studying the algebraic, combinatoric, and geometric properties of the representations of Lie superalgebras and their corresponding quantized enveloping superalgebras. More specifically, my focus is towards the Lie superalgebras of types P and Q. I also have research in algebraic geometry, specifically with elliptic fibrations.

I graduated from University of Texas at Arlington with a Ph.D in Mathematics in May of 2022, and my Ph.D thesis advisor was Dimitar Grantcharov. I was a Postdoctoral Research Advisor for the 2022 MSRI-UP program for the summer of 2022.

For the Fall 2024 semester, I will be teaching MATH 224W - Linear Algebra

At every institution, one of my goals is bring the mathematics community together, regardless of background/class/religion/preferences, and to inspire people to appreciate mathematics. 

One such way is to mentor and to help provide resources to students, especially underrepresented and first-generation students, so that they too can be successful in mathematics.

At UTA, contributed to this goal through the AMS UTA chapter by forming a community and provide resources for graduate students to help be successful in the PhD program. During MSRI-UP 2022, I had the privilege to contribute to the goal of that program through my mentorship. I attended a workshop on Mentoring for Equity, and aim to take what I learned to any institution I join. The insight that I will obtain through the  2023 ADJOINT program will also allow me to achieve my goals. I will continue to contribute wherever I can in order to help diversify and bring the mathematics community together.

I am very grateful to be able to have all of these opportunities, and continue to not only grow as a mathematician, but help others grow and push the boundaries of mathematics even more.
