About Me

I am a graduate student in the mathematics department at UCLA. Here is a copy of my CV. My advisor is Igor Pak. For the 2023-24 academic year, I am supported by UCLA's Dissertation Year Fellowship.
Before this, I was an undergraduate at the University of Rochester.

Research

I work in Combinatorics, and am especially interested in enumerative problems, combinatorics on groups, and computational complexity. Here are some papers of mine:

Complexity of sign imbalance, parity of linear extensions, and height 2 posets, preprint (2023). [PDF]

Complexity of Ice Quiver Mutation Equivalence, accepted, Annals of Combinatorics. [PDF].

(with Igor Pak) Algebraic and Arithmetic Properties of the cogrowth sequence of nilpotent groups, preprint (2022). [PDF].

Embeddings of weighted graphs in Erdos-type settings, Mosc. J. Comb. Number Theory 8(2), 2019.

(With Mike Desgrottes, Steven Senger, and Renjun Zhu) A general framework for studying finite rainbow configurations, Springer Proc. Math. Stat. 297, 2020.
