My research interests are in algebraic combinatorics, especially topics related to Schubert calculus. I'm an organizer of the annual Algebraic Combinatorics Virtual Expedition (AlCoVE). Here are some useful documents that are otherwise hard to find online.
I completed my PhD in 2016 under the guidance of Alexander Yong at UIUC, where I was an National Science Foundation Research Fellow and an Illinois Distinguished Fellow. My thesis won the Philippe Tondeur Dissertation Prize. After a year as a Hill Assistant Professor at Rutgers University, I was Assistant Professor and National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan for three years.
I joined the University of Waterloo in 2020. Although my home is in the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization, I can advise graduate students in either C&O or Pure Mathematics.
