About

Hi! I am a first year PhD student and NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Georgia Tech advised by John Etnyre. I am studying topology (AKA shapes), and I am also interested in theoretical computer science.

Previously, I was a student at USC where I was advised by Julian Chaidez and Vatsal Sharan.

Other from math, I like running; playing strategy games such as poker, chess, or terriforming mars; improv comedy; and Star Wars.
