Work History

Research Assistant

Williams College
06.2023 - Current

Researched under Professor Leo Goldmakher

  • Worked with another student on average behavior of higher power residues; one paper in preparation

Student Researcher

Polymath Jr. REU
06.2022 - Current

Researched under Professor Steven J. Miller

  • Collaborated with a group of students to revise and extend results from SMALL REU 2015, one paper ready to submit
  • Studied Ramsey-theoretic problems on large sets without 3-term geometric progressions in Hurwitz quaternion order

Research Assistant

Williams College
01.2022 - Current

Researched under Professor Pamela E. Harris

  • Worked with two other students in parking functions; one paper ready for submission
  • Defined a new type of parking functions called vacillating parking functions
  • Found a recursive formula for the enumeration of general vacillating parking functions
  • Defined a nice subset of vacillating parking functions and derived an explicit formula for its enumeration

Student Researcher

Researched under Professor Steven J. Miller

  • Collaborated with a group of high school students on Zeckendorf Decomposition Problem; one paper published in Fibonacci Quarterly
