About me

I am a 4th year PhD Student at UCLA’s Math department working with Pavel Galashin. I am primarily interested in algebraic and enumerative combinatorics. I am currently working on problems related to the combinatorics of positroid varieties, affine permutations, and q,t-Catalan numbers. Specifically, I am interested in the combinatorics related to distinguished subexpressions and Deodhar pieces. Before UCLA, I received my B.S. with High Distinction and Honors in Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College in 2021.

For the Spring 2026 semester, I am visiting Cornell University.
