I am an MIT School of Science Dean's Postdoc and NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT, hosted by Alex Postnikov. My main research interest is algebraic combinatorics, with connections to algebra, algebraic geometry, and representation theory. I focus on problems involving cluster algebras and scattering diagrams, especially expansion formulas and nice bases in low-rank cluster algebras. I have also worked on projects involving higher continued fractions, hyperbolic Coxeter polytopes, Ehrhart theory, Hilbert bases, pattern avoidance, additive number theory, and combinatorics on words.

This past summer I was a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Davis, hosted by Eugene Gorsky. I completed my PhD at Harvard University, advised by Lauren Williams. I spent two years in the UK, sponsored by a Marshall scholarship, completing master's degrees at Cambridge University and Durham University. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2019.
