About Me

I am a mathematician at the MIT Department of Mathematics, where I serve as a lecturer and the Research Coordinator for the sophomore section of MIT PRIMES. I earned my PhD from UC Berkeley in 2019 under Prof. Lauren Williams’ supervision. Before moving to MIT, I was an Exchange Graduate Scholar at Harvard University, an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Florida, and a Fulbright Visiting Professor at the University of Graz (in Austria).

My research focuses on commutative algebra in connection to factorization theory, number theory and combinatoics. I am an editor for the Journal of Commutative Algebra.

I am committed to introducing enthusiastic and talented young students to mathematical research at the frontiers of abstract algebra, number theory, and combinatorics. Motivated by this, I’m deeply involved in MIT PRIMES and CrowdMath as both a research mentor and coordinator. I am also an active part of the CrowdMath Internship (CMI) and the iMath-Lab.

Here is a relatively updated version of my Curriculum Vitae.
