- Selected as one of two recipients of a competitive, funded research fellowship in mathematics
- Conducted independent research in additive combinatorics under faculty supervision, tackling open-ended problems with no predefined solution paths
- Formulated original questions, conjectures, and theoretical results, iterating through proof strategies and counterexamples
- Used Python (via CoCalc) to perform large-scale computations, explore examples, and systematically sift through computational data to identify patterns and test conjectures
- Coordinated research direction with a parallel fellowship recipient, sharing intermediate findings and align approaches
- Collaborated closely with a senior researcher, incorporating feedback while maintaining ownership of methodology and problem direction
- Produced formal mathematical write-ups using LaTeX, communicating complex technical results with clarity and precision
