Assistant Professor
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.
In Summer 2025, I organzied an SLMath Summer School on Graphical Models in Algebraic Combinatorics. Videos are available at that link.
My research is partially supported by NSF Grant DMS-2344764.
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.
This Fall, I'm teaching a graduate course on Combinatorial Theory.
