I am a senior undergraduate student at UMass Amherst majoring in computer science and mathematics. Broadly, I am interested in theoretical computer science and abstract algebra. I will be a Master's student at UMass starting Fall 2025, after which I intend to pursue a PhD somewhere else. My research is focused on computational complexity theory, and in particular on parallel computation and the structure of complexity classes. Currently I am studying threshold computation and connections to algebraic automata theory and descriptive complexity for my honors thesis. I am fortunate to have David A. Mix Barrington and Eric Allender as my thesis advisors.
