Research
Currently, I'm working on a project in enumerative combinatorics, advised by
Professor Richard Stanley, at MIT.
During the summer of 2024, I worked 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]
The following figure is from my "hobby project" in graph theory. I'm unsure if it will go anywhere, but the process certainly taught me a lot about structuring research, and I enjoy exploring various ideas in my free time. I've additionally given two talks on this work.
