I am a joint postdoctoral fellow at California Institute of Technology and Tsinghua Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, supervised by Nicolai Reshetikhin and Tony Yue Yu. For 2023-24, I am in residence at Caltech. I am broadly interested in algebraic geometry, enumerative geometry, and mirror symmetry.
I am a recent PhD graduate from Columbia University, advised by Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu. Before, I was an undergraduate student at Pomona College, advised by Erica Flapan and Shahriar Shahriari. I am also an alumnus of Budapest Semesters in Mathematics and Math in Moscow.
Here is my curriculum vitae.
In Spring 2024, I am:
- Teaching Ma 130c - Algebraic geometry
- Co-organizing the Caltech/USC Algebra & Geometry Seminar
- Co-organizing the Caltech-Tsinghua Joint Colloquium
