Research

During the summer of 2024, I had the privilege to work under the mentorship of Professor John Urschel at MIT, on a project in matrix analysis. We wrote the following paper:

On the Frobenius Norm of the Inverse of a Non-Negative Matrix, with John Urschel. Linear Algebra and its Applications, 2025 [PDF]

I'm currently developing interests in algebraic combinatorics and geometric graph theory. The latter stems from an independent project in graph theory (in-progress). Here are a few related figures:

Six figures of graphs for my independent project
I've given two talks on my work, and plan to create a separate page to share progress!
