Hi! I’m a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Mathematics, as well as a postdoctoral fellow with the Algorithms and Randomness Center (ARC).
In Spring 2025, I will be visiting SLMath (formerly MSRI) as a postdoctoral fellow for the semester programs in Extremal Combinatorics and Probability & Statistics of Discrete Structures.

This fall I am teaching Math 4221: Stochastic Processes I. You can find a little bit of info on my Teaching page.
About Me:
My research interests are in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics and their intersections with statistical physics. I earned my mathematics PhD in 2023 from Rutgers University, under the supervision of Bhargav Narayanan. At Georgia Tech, I work with Will Perkins on problems related to counting and sampling algorithms in combinatorial/statistical physics models, as well as with Christine Heitsch on enumeration problems motivated by biology.
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.
I am also 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.
