Assistant Professor
About
I'm an Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. Previously, I was an instructor in the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an IBL Postdoctoral Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan. I completed my PhD at the University of Illinois in 2018 under the direction of Alexander Yong.
This semester, I'm organizing the UMN Combinatorics Seminar.
On April 5, 2025, we will be hosing Algecom at UMN.
In Summer 2025, I'm organizing an SLMath Summer School on Graphical Models in Algebraic Combinatorics.
My research is partially supported by NSF Grant DMS-2344764.
Research
My area of research is algebraic combinatorics. Most recently, I have been using bumpless pipe dreams and Gröbner geometry to study problems from Schubert calculus. I enjoy thinking about polynomials, quivers, and combinatorial algebraic geometry.
Teaching
This semester, I'm teaching a graduate topics course on Combinatorial Commutative Algebra.
