About me

I am a first-year mathematics Ph.D. student at Colorado State University, as of the academic year 2023-2024. I specialize in arithmetic geometry. My advisor is Prof. Rachel Pries.

I earned my M.S. in mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (2020-2022). I earned a B.S. each in physics and mathematics (highest honors + honors undergraduate thesis) from the University of California, Santa Cruz (2016-2020). My undergraduate thesis was advised by Prof. Junecue Suh (UCSC math dept), Prof. Michael Dine (UCSC physics dept), and informally by Prof. Shamit Kachru (Stanford Physics dept).

Here is my CV.
