I am a second-year PhD student in the mathematics department at MIT under the supervision of Richard Stanley and Jerzy Weyman. I am interested in the combinatorial aspects of algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and representation theory. More specifically, this means things like: Schubert varieties, Schur functors, symmetric functions, syzygies, and many other things that start with the letter "S".
I did my undergraduate degree in mathematics at University of California, Berkeley, where my advisor was David Eisenbud. I studied connections between representation theory of the general linear group and commutative algebra. You can find my senior thesis under "Expository articles."
I contribute to the math blog Concrete Nonsense.
The picture to the left was made with the evolutionary polygon approximation software that I found here.
