About Me:
My research interests are in the intersections of combinatorics, probability, and statistical physics. I earned my mathematics PhD in 2023 from Rutgers University, under the supervision of Bhargav Narayanan. From 2023-2026, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Mathematics, as well as a postdoctoral fellow with the Algorithms and Randomness Center (ARC), working with Will Perkins on problems related to counting and sampling algorithms in combinatorial/statistical physics models. In Spring 2025, I was a postdoctoral fellow at SLMath (formerly MSRI) for the semester programs in Extremal Combinatorics and Probability & Statistics of Discrete Structures.
In my “spare time,” I perform my one-woman play Uniform Convergence at math departments around the country. I started writing it when I was an undergrad at Sarah Lawrence College where I concentrated in mathematics and theater. You can find more info about it on the Theater page.
Since 2024, I have also been the director of MathILy-Er, a summer program for high school students where we teach (primarily) discrete math via inquiry-based instruction. I have additionally been a Lead Instructor since 2022. Before that, I was an Apprentice Instructor with {MathILy, MathILy-Er} from 2015-21, and before that, I was the MathILy PRiME from 2014-15.
Upcoming Events:
- June 28-August 1: MathILy-Er
- January 12-15, 2027: Joint Mathematics Meetings in Chicago
- June 14-18, 2027: CanaDAM in Kelowna, BC, Canada (public interest lecturer and invited minisymposium organizer)
- December 5-17, 2027: CMI Research School and BIRS-CMI Workshop in Discrete Probability and Network Statistics in Chennai, India
