AboutI am an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow and Instructor at MIT. I received my PhD from Columbia University under the supervision of Michael Harris in May 2023.
In Summer 2026, I will join the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES).
My main research interests are in number theory, algebraic geometry, and representation theory, such as the interplay between:
- Special values of L-functions
- Rational, torsion, and periodic points
- Representations of finite and p-adic groups
- Cluster algebras
I am also a trained sommelier and co-editor of the James Beard-nominated cookbook Made Here by the NYC volunteer organization Send Chinatown Love.
