About Me

I grew up in a small town in the great state of New Jersey, where I ate a lot of pork roll (and no Taylor ham). I then went to the University of Michigan for my BS in Honors Mathematics, and stuck around for my MS too. While there, I took the honors math sequence (class number 41), where I made some of my best friends at the expense of most of my sleep and some of my sanity. At the expense of more of those two things, I spent two years with the University of Michigan Solar Car Team, and was Operations Director for a little more than half that time. As a part of the team, I raced 1800 miles across America in a really big truck.

After my time at Michigan I spent a year in Arlington, Virginia as a Quantitative Trader in the energy markets. I then hitched a ride back to the Midwest to start my PhD at the University of Illinois, Chicago, where I am now. I've spent the last few years delving deeper into my interests, which you can read about below!
