I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Mathematics at Aarhus University working with Professor Paul Nelson.

I received my PhD in Mathematics from Princeton University in 2025 where I was advised by Akshay Venkatesh. Before that, I did my undergrad at Carnegie Mellon University.

My research interests are broadly in number theory and analysis, including the analysis of automorphic forms and special functions. Outside of math research, I am the academic director for a math camp for high schoolers at MIT. I also sometimes solve math problems on my YouTube page which you can find below.

Starting Fall 2026 I will be an NSF MPS-Ascend postdoc at MIT.
