I am a postdoctoral researcher in the DYNASNET group at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics, working with Gábor Pete and Balázs Ráth. From 2020-2023, I was a postdoc in the probability group at the University of British Columbia. Prior to that, I earned a PhD in Mathematics in 2020 from the University of Washington, and a BA in Mathematics and Chinese language in 2014 from Dartmouth College.

My research interests are mostly in discrete probability and statistical physics. I have ongoing projects related to: particle systems, random matrices, shifts of finite type, mixing times, random walks, stochastic geometry.
