About me #
I am a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Arizona State University. My mentor is Hal Kierstead.
I completed my Ph.D. in Combinatorics and Optimization at University of Waterloo in 2025. My advisors were Sophie Spirkl and Karen Yeats. My thesis was Preserving and Generalizing \(\chi \!\!\) -boundedness.
My research is in combinatorics. In particular, I am interested in structural graph theory and its connections, applications, and consequences in other branches of graph theory (for example extremal and topological graph theory) as well as to fields of mathematics and theoretical computer science such as: optimization, algorithms, complexity theory, logic, and discrete geometry.
Currently, I am focused on: induced subgraphs; the operation of intersection between graphs; the \(K_{r} \!\!\) -free chromatic number; and the interplay among these topics.
My detailed CV is available here.
