Activities

I spent the summer of 2023 with the Discrete Geometry Group at Freie Universität Berlin.

In the spring of 2021, I co-organized the Talking about Combinatorial Objects Seminar (TACOS) at UC Berkeley with Max Hlavacek. The topic was Ehrhart theory.

I passed my Qualifying Exam in the spring of 2021. Here is my syllabus.
