I am a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) studying algebraic geometry.
My advisor is Julius Ross.
This semester (Summer 2023), I am teaching Math 220 Differential Equations
Office hours (Summer 2023): W 9-10 am, Th 2-3 pm (zoom link on Blackboard)
My research interests are algebraic geometry and algebraic combinatorics. I study positivity and stability of vector bundles on algebraic varieties, and their combinatorics under the toric geometry setting. I am also working on a project on Schur positivity for symmetric polynomials.
Papers
(in preparation) Schur positivity of difference of products of derived Schur polynomials
