RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am interested in enumerative and algebraic combinatorics. I am currently studying combinatorial Hopf algebras, quasisymetric functions, noncommutative symmetric functions, chromatic symmetric functions, parking functions, and q,t-catalan numbers.

In the fall, I will be a Burnett Meyer Postdoctoral Fellow under the supervision of Nat Thiem at the University of Colorado Boulder. I completed my PhD at North Carolina State University in 2024, advised by Laura Colmenarejo (NCSU) and Sarah Mason (WFU).
