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

I am MMEG grantee (by the World Bank) for the year 2024-25.

Currently, I am working with Prof. Igor Mineyev and Prof. Jeremy Tyson.

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