Some places I have done math

In the summer of 2012 I was a counselor at the Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists (PROMYS), where I had previously been a student in the summer of 2006.

I graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (B.Sc. in Mathematics) in February 2012. From September 2010 to April 2011 I also studied abroad at the University of Cambridge (Part II of the Mathematical Tripos) through the Cambridge-MIT Exchange.

Some things I have written

Lattice paths and the quadratic coefficient of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials (SPUR 2010)
Topics in generating functions (WOOT 2009)
Explicit equations in the plane for elliptic curves given as space quartics (RSI 2007, Intel STS 2008)
