I am a fifth-year PhD student in the MIT Department of Mathematics, advised by Scott Sheffield. My research lies at the intersection of probability theory and mathematical physics. More specifically, I am interested in lattice Yang–Mills theory, lattice spin systems, and topics in random matrix theory, including Weingarten calculus and \(\beta\)-ensembles. I am currently on the job market for postdoctoral positions.
