About

I am a postdoctoral instructor at Rice University, where I teach a class each semester and conduct research with Dr. Illya Hicks. I obtained a PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering under advisor Dr. John Gunnar Carlsson at the University of Southern California in 2022. 

​

I am broadly interested in combinatorial optimization problems with high impact applications, and I am passionate about communicating mathematical ideas effectively and getting students from all backgrounds interested and supported in pursuing mathematics and engineering.
