Welcome! I am a third year computer science PhD student in the Theory of Computation group at Harvard. I'm fortunate to be advised by Professor Salil Vadhan.
Before this, I graduated with a BS in mathematics from the University of Central Florida. While at UCF, I completed an honors undergraduate thesis in Ramsey theory under the supervision of Professor Zi-Xia Song.

Research Interests:
My interests are in combinatorics and theoretical computer science, especially the intersection of these two areas.
