Organization
I am currently co-organizing the UCLA Logic Seminar and Logic Colloquium with Anton Bernshteyn.
23rd Graduate Student Conference in Logic, April 15-16 2023.
I co-organized UIC's Louise Hay Logic Seminar with Kevin Zhou from 2022-2024.
Teaching
Past Courses: Math 182 (Algorithms), 115A (Linear Algebra), 114L (Mathematical Logic), 31A (Calculus).
At UIC, I was an instructor for Intermediate Algebra and the ESP Workshop for Intro to Proofs. I was a TA for College Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus 1-3, and Teaching and Presentation of Mathematics. I was a Teaching Assistant Coordinator in Fall 2021.
