Seminars
Writing Milestone Seminar
In Spring 2025, I helped organize the Writing Milestone Seminar with Zawad Chowdhury. This seminar gives beginning graduate students working on their writing milestone a chance to speak about the math topics that they have been working so closely on, and to discuss this new and emerging mutual experience with fellow graduate students.Algebraic Curves
In Winter 2025, I organized a graduate reading course on algebraic curves, supervised by Giovanni Inchiostro. More details at Algebraic Curves Learning Seminar.
MATH 583C — Intersection Theory
In Spring 2024, I co-organized a graduate reading course on intersection theory together with Arkamouli Debnath, supervised by Sándor Kovács. Notes and schedule can be found at the course website MATH 583C Intersection Theory.

Mentorship
UW Math AI Lab
I am mentor on the project Reinforcement Learning for Polynomials. Together with Jarod Alper and other group members, we try to train a AlphaZero-style reinforcement learning agent to efficiently compute polynomial circuits. This can be viewed as an extremely simplified version of auto-prove generation. I served as a mentor on the project "What mathematical functions can neural networks learn?" in the 2024-2025 iteration of the Math AI Lab.Washington eXperimental Mathematics Lab - WXML
I served as a mentor on the Spring 2025 project "Creating 3D Prints and Animations to Help Teach Calculus." With Andy Loveless and other group members, we created 3D prints of mathematical objects as teaching aids for the calculus sequence, and geometric thinking in general. Here is an ever-growing Gallery of Shapes that we've made so far. I like the following prints in particular:
Washington Directed Reading Program - WDRP
I served as a mentor for the following WDRP projects.- (SP25) An Excursion in Representation Theory
- (SP24) Enumerative Geometry, Incidence Geometry, Projective Geometry
- (WI24) Lie groups are not a lie: they are everywhere.
