Hello!
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. My mathematical interests include combinatorial algebraic geometry and applications to scattering amplitudes in physics. I was a Chancellor’s Fellow at UC Davis for five months, mentored by Jaroslav Trnka. I completed a PhD at UC Berkeley in May 2026, advised by Bernd Sturmfels. Before that I was at Amherst College, where I wrote a senior thesis on elliptic pairs under the guidance of Jenia Tevelev. In my free time, I rock climb, run, read comics, and play guitar.

Upcoming and recent travel:
- September 1: Postdoctoral position at Perimeter Insitute for Theoretical Physics (Waterloo, Canada)
- September 24: Speaking in Waterloo Combinatorics Seminar
- September 28-October 2: Universe+ annual meeting (University of Cambridge, UK)
- April 26th - May 22nd 2027: Participating in Combinatorics and Geometries for Particle Physics and Cosmology (Santa Barbara, CA)
I am grateful for the support of NSF GRFP no. 2023358166 during my graduate career, and for the current support of a UC Davis Chancellor’s fellowship.
