I am a postdoc at the University of Washington. I am interested in problems in combinatorics, tropical geometry, and number theory. My mentor at UW is Farbod Shokrieh. I was on the job market in fall 2019.

I was recently a graduate student at the University of Michigan where my advisor was David Speyer. Before graduate school I studied math at MIT and the Math in Moscow program.
