I am currently a graduate student in the Stanford University Mathematics department working on my PhD thesis and serving as TA for undergraduate math courses. I completed my B.S. in Mathematics with honors at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA. My research interests include differential geometry, geometric analysis/PDEs, and their applications to theoretical physics such as general relativity. I also have some background in physics and computer science/programming, and I previously worked as an actuary for a few years.

Before coming to California for college I grew up in Queens, New York. I enjoy poker and shooting pool.
