About

I am an NSF postdoc and member at the Institute for Advanced study. During the summer of 2024, I was a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA mentored by Pavel Galashin. 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.

In Fall 2025 I will move to the University of Michigan to work with Thomas Lam as an NSF postdoc and Parekh Research Assistant Professor.

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

Here is my CV. [current as of 4/12/2025]
