Originally, I thought I would pursue a PhD in physics; my Bachelor’s degree is in physics; however, when I happened to read “Intro to Proofs: A Long-Form Mathematics Textbook” by Jay Cummings, the course of my life changed.
I have just graduated from the Master’s program in the Mathematics and Statistics Department at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. I am about to start the mathematics PhD program at Brandeis this fall!
For those who are very curious, here’s my CV.
Some of my non-math-related interests are sleight-of-hand magic (mostly cards) and Marvel movies (haven’t missed an opening-night movie since 2016). My favorite magic trick that I have seen (on TV/online) is the following performance of Asi Wind on Penn and Teller. And my favorite superhero is, by far, Captain America.1
