Let's Talk Math
When I'm not doing data science, I am a Ph.D. Student in the University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science.
My research interests lie broadly in the fields of combinatorics and theoretical computer science
My current office hours and teaching schedule can be found here on my department profile.
