About Me

I graduated from Cornell University in 2018 with a B.A. in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science. As of writing this (2020), I am finishing up my second year in Purdue's mathematics Ph.D. program. I was awarded the GAANN fellowship, so I have not had the opportunity to do any teaching yet, but I'm looking forward to leading a recitation in the future and beginning my research in earnest. Currently, I am interested in studying commutative algebra, algebraic number theory, graph theory, and combinatorics.


I have published two peer-reviewed papers, both listed in my CV, and have an Erdős number of 3. I can also solve a Rubik's Cube in under a minute! When not studying math, I like to write small Python programs for various tasks and read up on machine learning.
