I am a second year math PhD student at UCSD. My research interests are in combinatorics and probability and in particular
Extremal set theory. My advisor is Jacques Verstraete. Before I was at UCSD, I did my undergrad at UCLA and graduated in 2017.
Along with Sam Spiro, I organize the Graduate Student Combinatorics Seminar (GSCS) at UCSD. For more info, see (here).
Papers and preprints:
- Bollobás set k-tuples (pdf) Submitted
- On the poset and asymptotics of Tesler matrices (pdf) The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2018.

- Bollobás set k-tuples; Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference, UPenn/Drexel, April 2019
- Bollobás-type inequalities on set k-tuples; UCSD Combinatorics Seminar, March 2019 (slides).
- On the poset and asymptotics of Tesler matrices; Poster session ALGECOM at UIUC, April 2017

Teaching:
For the Spring 2019 Quarter, I will be TAing Math 154. My office hours are Monday 2-4 PM, Wednesday 8-10 AM.
In the past, I have been a teaching assistant in the following courses.

there were not enough evaluations submitted to release the results. This is done to protect the anonymity of
the students. )
While I was in undergrad at UCLA, I served as an assistant instructor at the Los Angeles Math Circle where I worked with
children from 6th to 9th grade. Read more about LAMC (here).
Miscellaneous:
Outside of math, I like to run and play and watch basketball. I also currently serve as a representative for the math department
in
the Graduate Student Association. For more info on this, see (here). I am also serving on the Climate Action and Policy Committee (CAP)
within the GSA which was recently featured (here).
