I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Mathematics at MIT, advised by Jacob Fox. My main research area is extremal and probabilistic combinatorics.

I am generously supported by a Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship.

I received my undergraduate degrees from MIT in Mathematics and Computer Science. Afterwards, I spent a year at Trinity College, Cambridge as a Gates Scholar, reading Part III of the Mathematical Tripos. I spent my recent summers at Microsoft Research New England and Theory Group.
