Hello!

I am a postdoc currently based UC Davis, and will be moving to Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in the fall. My mathematical interests include combinatorial algebraic geometry and applications to particle physics. 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, drink coffee, read comics, and as of recently, play guitar.
