i’m a Visiting Assistant Professor (non-tenure track) at Texas A&M University. i earned my Ph.D. under the supervision of Vic Reiner in 2025 at the University of Minnesota.
here is my cv
my research interests are in algebraic combinatorics and applied topology
my pronouns are he/him

i’m a fan of python. in particular, sagemath. since 2020 i have been contributing to sagemath. here are some things i’ve done in sagemath.
in summer 2021 i participated in the Google Summer of Code with sagemath. i did it again in 2022.
i am helping to organize the 2024 Minnesota Research Workshop in Algebra and Combinatorics (aka MRWAC, pronouced like the Pokemon). it is a research workshop to strengthen research connections between UMN graduate students, postdocs and alumni in combinatorics and algebra.
i helped to organize the 2020 UMN student combinatorics seminar. here is the schedule of speakers that year.
