I am a graduate student advised by Prof. Jeremy Tyson at University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. I am currently the Illinois Mathematics (Geometry) Lab research manager. My primary research interests are analysis on metric spaces and geometric group theory. I am also interested in exploring problems in optimization theory from a analytical point of view.

I am an AAUW fellow for the year 2025-26 and I am supported by Lackner fellowship (by UIUC) for the year 2025-26.

Previously, I was MMEG grantee (by the World Bank) for the year 2024-25 and I visited Hausdorff Institute of Mathematics at University of Bonn, Germany in Spring, 2025.

I am always happy to talk about research, undergraduate research and outreach, so please feel free to reach out.
