I am interested in algebraic combinatorics, with a focus on total positivity and cluster algebras. Before coming to UCLA in 2019, I was a PhD student at MIT, advised by Alex Postnikov.
In Spring 2025, I am teaching Math 61: Introduction to Discrete Structures.
Together with Anton Bernshteyn, Terrence George, Igor Pak, and Colleen Robichaux, we organize the UCLA Combinatorics Forum.
My research is supported by an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship and by the National Science Foundation under Grants No. DMS-1954121 and No. DMS-2046915 (CAREER).
