About

I'm a undergraduate Mathematics and Computer Science student. This summer I'm conducting research at Carnegie Mellon University's SUAMI REU. My long-term goal is graduate school and eventually a professorship in mathematics but if not, I'm sure I'll find something equally rewarding.

On the side, I build software tools that fulfill a need I have or serve as alternatives to things that exist but are built with function over form in mind (sue me, I like using well-designed tools).

Courses

Teaching

I've been a teaching assistant across various courses in the Computer Science & Mathematics department. If you're a current student, you can find office hours and resources on the Teaching page.

Research

This summer I'm at CMU's SUAMI REU, studying wild edges in edge-coloured graphs—investigating the minimum number of edges that must be wild for every colour class to contain a spanning tree. The poster and slides are on the talks page.
