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.
