I am a Data Scientist at SimSpace. In 2021 I received my PhD from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the advisement of Anil N. Hirani.
My research interests lie in data science, graph theory, logic, algorithms and computational topology. I am currently writing my doctoral thesis, titled Graphical structure of unsatisfiable boolean formulae which combines the tools of graph theory and topology to analyze boolean satisfiability – a classic problem in logic and computer science.
I am also looking to extend my doctoral work towards the upcoming and adjacent field of computer-assisted formalized mathematics and interactive theorem proving (in particular, with the Lean theorem prover).
