Hello and Welcome to my Webpage

I am a mathematician and my primary research interest is in enumerative combinatorics. I try to exactly enumerate combinatorial families of objects. I love bijective method of proofs and proof without words.

Until October 2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Laboratoire de Probabilités, Statistique et Modélisation (LPSM), Sorbonne Université and Université Paris Cité, CNRS, Paris. I was supported by the DIMERS grant. Starting February 2025, I will be joining the Yau Mathematical Sciences Centre at Tsinghua University in Beijing as a postdoctoral researcher.

I finished my PhD at University College London in 2023 under the supervision of Alan Sokal. (Here is a picture with Alan during a lake district hike.) My PhD dissertation is titled "Enumerative combinatorics, continued fractions and total positivity" and it can be found here.

My pronouns are he/him.

I believe in the axioms of Federico Ardila:

Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.

Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.

Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.

Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
