Education
University of the Pacific
B.S. in Mathematics with Honors
Park City Mathematics Institute Summer School
Selected as one of thirty undergraduate mathematics majors worldwide to participate in the IAS Park City Mathematics Institute outreach program in quantum computation. Participated in research project with three other undergraduates on the convergence rates of continued fractions and presented the results at the summer school.
Research Experience
Undergraduate Honors Thesis
Continuation of my research from my Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship into my honors thesis. I loosened the assumptions on the proof for dimer models and quivers with potential and classified the cases where loosening the assumptions further leads to counterexamples. Some of the mentioned claims can be found in the 2024 Maurice Auslander Distinguished Lectures and International Conference, presented by my advisor.
Experimental Math Lab Project Presentation
Participated in research project with three other undergraduates to investigate and compare the convergence rates of decimal and continued fraction approximants of numbers in [0, 1].
Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships
I proved that a variant of urban renewal of dimer models induces mutations of quivers with potential at 4-valent vertices. I also modified Dr. Bernhard Keller's Java application to compute mutation classes of quivers by mutating quivers only at 4-valent vertices to study the resultant mutation classes.
