I'm currently a first year Mathematics DPhil student at Oxford University, primarily interested in random matrix theory.

My research interests lie in probability theory and its applications to number theory and computer science, currently focusing on random matrix theory. Prior to my DPhil, I worked in density estimation and random variate generation under Prof. Luc Devroye. Before that, I studied random trees under Prof. Louigi Addario-Berry and friends.

For a list of publications and preprints, see my Google Scholar.

I've had the honour and privilege of working with many student organizations during few years at McGill. My favourite of these experiences was being one of the McGill AI Society's two academic lecturers during the Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 semesters, which gave me the opportunity to develop and co-teach an introductory machine learning course to undergraduate students.

When I'm not studying, you'll find me reading or pursuing other passions such as cooking and playing the piano. My favourite composers are Rachmaninoff (whose handspan plagues both my friend Anna and I) and Ravel.

My Erdös number is 3.
