Experienced pure and applied mathematics researcher. Passion for discrete math research. Completed Master's degree in Mathematics from University of Oxford, UK. Proficient in Python. Recipient of Gibbs Prize in Mathematics in 2023 granted by University of Oxford for my dissertation. Started my PhD in Mathematics at ETH Zurich in 2023. Benny Sudakov is my advisor.My main research interests are in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, often involving graph theory, Ramsey theory, or pattern containment.I welcome any questions/comments about my work. I love to talk about mathematics, so I am also open to being contacted out of the blue to discuss problems that you believe may be of interest to me.Completed Papers:An asymptotically tight lower bound for superpatterns with small alphabets, Arxiv.Improved lower bounds for van der Waerden numbers, Arxiv, Quanta article.Optimally reconstructing caterpillar graphs, Arxiv.A note on large induced subgraphs with prescribed residues in bipartite graphs, Arxiv.Upcoming Papers:A new lower bound for superpermutations, Overleaf.Shorter Super-Trees using Dyadic Sequence Dominators, Overleaf.
