I am a graduate student in mathematics at the University of Washington. I'm working with my advisor Rekha Thomas on semidefinite programming and combinatorial optimization.

Teaching

I am on RA this quarter and am not teaching. I am running a learning seminar about flag algebras, a technique for solving extremal graph problems.
