I'm a first-year PhD student in pure mathematics at the University of Illinois Chicago. I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics and Asian Languages and Civilizations at Amherst College in 2023. I'm broadly interested in group theory, representation theory, and Lie theory.

Papers and Preprints

β-Arboreal Galois groups of cubic polynomials with colliding critical points, with Robert L. Benedetto, William DeGroot, Xinyu Ni, Jesse Seid, Annie Wei. [arXiv:2404.04034]

Outreach and Mentorship

Math Circles of Chicago: This year, I started as a teacher for Math Circles of Chicago, a free after-school math program for Chicago-area kids of grades 3-12.

Teaching

This fall, I am a Teaching Assistant for MATH 125 Linear Algebra with Business Applications.

Here is a simple list of previous courses I've TA'd for at Amherst College, both as a student and full-time in the 2023-2024 academic year:

  • Introduction to Real Analysis
  • Groups, Rings, and Fields
  • Graph Theory
  • Mathematical Reasoning and Proof
  • Linear Algebra
  • Intermediate Calculus
  • Introduction to Calculus
