About Me

I am a third-year math PhD student at UCLA working in representation theory with Raphaël Rouquier. In 2023, I received my B.S. from Harvey Mudd College with High Distinction and with Honors in mathematics. My senior thesis, Permutations, Representations, and Partition Algebras: A Random Walk through Algebraic Statistics was advised by Professor Michael Orrison.
