About

Teaching

I have a passion for teaching, whether it be upper-level courses for math majors, introductory courses for non-majors, or tutoring. See more about my philosophy and experience on the teaching page.

Research

My work involves analyzing probabilistic models using algebraic tools. Most recently, that involves the log-Gamma Polymer model subject to an external field, modifying techniques like geometric RSK and the Yang-Baxter equation. My advisors at the University of Rochester were Arjun Krishnan and Jonathan Pakianathan. If you’re interested or want to talk, reach out! I go more in depth on the research page.

Mentoring

I organized a Directed Reading Program for URochester undergraduates, where I also ran my own reading group. That is now hosted here. The most recent semester that I was in charge of is here.

Education

As an undergraduate, I got an Honors B.S. in Math and a B.S. Physics at the University of Rochester, while also minoring in Music. I have received my M.A. and Ph.D. in Mathematics, also from the University of Rochester.

Music

I’ve played the viola since I was young, and continue playing in orchestras around Rochester. In my time in Rochester, I’ve been an active member of the Music Department on the River Campus, opportunities at Eastman, and community orchestras around town.

I was fortunate enough to also be given the chance to be an Assistant Conductor for the University of Rochester Orchestras, conducting multiple times in concerts and rehearsals. For many years, I was also the Head librarian and took care of many related administrative duties.

Athletics

I’ve worked on the game operations staff in the Athletic Department at the University of Rochester since my first year. We track and collect live play-by-play statistics, run the scoreboard and clocks, and complete other administrative duties during the matches/games of the varsity athletic teams.
