I'm a Phd student in the cs theory group at Rutgers, jointly advised by Aaron Bernstein and Jie Gao.
I did my undergraduate at the University of Sydney, where my final year was spent under the guidance of Joachim Gudmundsson and André van Renssen.

On 11 June 2023, I am still alive. I hope you're well.

I'm broadly interested in theoretical computer science and its interplay with combinatorics. Here there be brambles and trees and sunflowers, gadgets and oracles and the devil; what else could this be if not the garden of earthly delights? I've dabbled a bit with computational geometry. Trying to learn other things too; it's tough, but we'll get there someway or somehow!
