What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in mathematics and research, with a collaborative environment.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Texas A&M University, pursuing a degree in Applied Mathematics with a focus on pure math. My academic journey has been enriched by my involvement in mathematical research under the guidance of Dr. Rostislav Grigorchuk, where I explore complex topics such as automata and expander graphs. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of mathematics but has also allowed me to develop my programming skills to analyze and interpret data effectively.

In addition to my research, I work as an independent contractor in data annotation and grading for AoPS, where I help students improve their mathematical proofs and problem-solving skills. My commitment to education and my passion for mathematics drive me to build the next generation of math enthusiasts. I am dedicated to continuous learning and aim to pursue a PhD in Applied Mathematics, with aspirations to contribute to advancements in math and artificial intelligence.
