I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London, supervised by Mark Jerrum. I work in probability, combinatorics, and algorithms, currently focusing on counting and sampling. I am interested in these topics, and more broadly algorithms, probability, combinatorics, and their interplay. I am always interested in areas to find new ideas and adapt old ones to new fields.
I completed my M.Sc. in Computer Science at McGill University under the supervision of Luc Devroye.
