Welcome!
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I am a member of the Logic Group and an organizer for the UW-Madison Math Directed Reading Program.
Upcoming talks
AMS Student Chapter Seminar: Vitali's Revenge, UW-Madison, Feb 12, 2026
Online Logic Seminar, Mar 5, 2026
Teaching
In the Spring 2026 semester, I am teaching two sections of Math 222 – Calculus and Analytic Geometry 2. Course information and materials will be posted on the Canvas page.
My past teaching positions can be found under Teaching.
Mentoring
I am currently mentoring undergraduate students through the UW-Madison Math Directed Reading Program. If you would like to work with me, please send me an email!
A complete list of past projects can be found under Mentoring.
Outreach
During the summer of 2025, I was the Site Coordinator at the Ypsilanti Math Corps at U(M), a program that I have been part of in various roles since 2021. This program, founded by Sarah Koch and Stephen DeBacker in 2019, is a summer camp for middle school students and high school mentors from Ypsilanti, which follows the educational and mentoring practices of the Math Corps, a phenomenal program that started at the Wayne State University in 1992. If you are interested in learning more about the program, please contact Sarah Koch.
A complete list of outreach and service activities can be found under Service.

More About Me
I received my M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan in 2025. My advisor was Andreas Blass. In this period, I facilitated the Student Logic Seminar at the University of Michigan Mathematics Department, which, in the Winter, was a Model Theory reading seminar. I was also a graduate student mentor at the University of Michigan Math REU and a mentor at the University of Michigan Math Directed Reading Program.
I received my B.S. with high honors from the University of Michigan in 2024, majoring in Honors Mathematics and Economics, and minoring in Philosophy. My honors thesis, A Reverse Mathematical Analysis of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz and Basis Theorem, was jointly advised by Andreas Blass and Jamie Tappenden. In my senior year, I served as president of the Society of Undergraduate Mathematics Students, facilitating the Math Undergraduate Seminars and organizing peer-advising sessions.
