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.
