About
I am an incoming master's student (Fall 2025) at UMass Amherst studying computer science. I received my B.S. with honors in computer science and mathematics at UMass in Spring 2025. I completed my senior thesis under the supervision of David A. Mix Barrington and Eric Allender. Broadly I am interested in theoretical computer science (mainly complexity theory) and abstract algebra. I am especially interested in algebraic methods for proving circuit lower bounds.
(2025-05-16) I was one of seventeen awarded the Bay State Fellowship for the 2025-2026 academic year at UMass Amherst.
(2024-08-12) The Polymath Jr. program has ended. I am continuing to work on a conjecture we developed throughout the Fall, and the results will be published sometime next Spring..
(2024-07-28) I will be attending the DIMACS Frontiers in Complexity Theory workshop at Rutgers University from July 29th through August 1st.
(2024-07-24) I am participating in a project on combinatorial commutative algebra as part of the Polymath Jr. REU.
"Go to the roots of these calculations! Group the operations. Classify them according to their complexities rather than their appearances! This, I believe, is the mission of future mathematicians."—Evariste Galois
