Research

My research interests are encompassed by the area of Probability, Combinatorics, Statistical Physics, and MCS. Below are any papers I've worked on.

1. The set of ratios of derangements to permutations in digraphs is dense in [0,1/2].

HOT Hot

Published in The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics* "" Worked in conjuction with Patrick Bennett (WMU), Bethany Austhof (UIC).

preprint "Realizability of hypergraphs and high-dimensional contingency tables with random degrees and marginals" with Marcus Michelen


Invited Talks

IDEAL Get Ready for Research Workshop on June 2-4 2023 at UIC.

IDEAL High School Teacher Workshop on May 6, 2023 at UIC.

Who am I?

(Possibly a hotdog.) A fifth year PhD candidate at UIC whose research interest include a choice from (Probability, Combinatorics, Statistical Physics). I completeted my master's degree in mathematical computer science at UIC in 2022 and my bachelor's degree in mathematics with a minor in philosophy at Western Michigan University in 2019. I am currently being co-advised by Marcus Michelen (UIC) and Will Perkins (Georgia Tech).

Since its inception I have been a (Lead) Graduate Instructor at YSP at UIC. This is a high school math camp meant "to introduce a diverse group of high schoolers from all over Chicago to exciting topics in mathematics.."

I am one of the co-organizers for DRP at UIC which started in Fall 2023 and was modeled after the Directed Reading Program at UT-Austin. This reading program has the expressed goal of supporting students of all backgrounds develop skills useful to learn math independently and pair undergraduates with a graduate mentor to assist with that goal.

I served as (F21-S22) co-president of UIC's Math Graduate Student Association and currently maintain its webpage and store and run its Ping Pong League.

I am currently one of the co-organizers of the 2026 GSCC (Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference) *Website Coming soon*, but 2025 is at USC.
