I'm a fifth-year math Ph.D. student at University of California, Berkeley. I study spectral theory and mathematical quantum mechanics. My advisor is Maciej Zworski.

Before coming to Berkeley, I was an undergrad at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I was on the board of directors of DynaMIT, and taught several classes for the Educational Studies Program.

When I'm not doing math, I enjoy calisthenics, skiing, international cooking, watching football, and traveling.
