About

I am an NSF postdoc and Parekh Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, working with Thomas Lam.

Previously, I was a member at the Institute for Advanced Study during the academic year 2024-2025, and a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA mentored by Pavel Galashin in the summer of 2024. I graduated with my PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley. My advisor was Bernd Sturmfels. My dissertation, titled "Algebraic curves, Grassmannians, and integrable systems," can be found here.

I am grateful for the support of the NSF MSPRF, the Bob Moses fund of IAS, and the UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship program.

Here is my CV. [current as of 8/20/2025]
