About Me
About Me
Hi! I am on the job market for a postdoc position.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, working under the supervision of Alejandro Morales. My research interests lie chiefly in algebraic combinatorics, with a particular focus on polytope theory. I am also interested in the combinatorics of quantum field theory as well as combinatorial algebraic geometry. My current research projects revolve around different aspects of flow polytopes, most notably the Pitman-Stanley polytope and Chan-Robbins-Yuen polytope. Check out the Research tab to learn more about my publications and preprints.
Before UMass, I obtained my MMath degree from the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Karen Yeats.
