seminars

Geometric Langlands

Published:

In Fall 2023, we are discussing the Geometric Langlands Correspondence.

Monstrous Moonshine

Published:

In Spring 2024, I am organising the Participating Algebra Seminar on Monstrous Moonshine.

Jet Schemes and W-Algebras

Published:

In Spring 2025, we are learning about Jet Schemes and W-Algebras, following Arc Spaces and Vertex Algebras by Tomoyuki Arakawa and Anne Moreau.

talks

Cayley Graphs

Published:

I presented a talk at the Fall 2021 DRP Colloquium on Cayley Graphs. I read the first chapter of Hatcher and prepared a presentation on Cayley Graphs. I worked with Riley Thornton.

Stable Homotopy

Published:

I presented a talk at the Fall 2022 DRP Colloquium on Stable Homotopy. I read from various texts, including Boardman’s Stable Homotopy Theory, Adams’ blue book, and Barnes-Roitzheim’s Foundations of Stable Homotopy Theory. I worked with Ben Szczesny.

Fargues-Fontaine Curve

Published:

I presented a talk at the UCLA Number Theory Participating Seminar on the Fargues-Fontaine Curve. Following Scholze’s Berkeley Notes, I introduced the Fargues-Fontaine curve from three perspectives: as a curve parametrising the untilts of a perfectoid ring, as a special “period ring,” and finally as a diamond, unifying the previous concepts.

Category Theory

Published:

I presented a talk at the UMC Undergraduate Talks on basic category theory. I introduced some basic definitions of categories and functors, and gave some practical examples, such as the chain rule being an aspect of the derivative being a functor and adjoints motivating the construction of free groups.

Split Semisimple Groups

Published:

I presented a talk at the UCLA Participating Algebra Seminar on Split Semisimple Groups. Following Chapter 25 of Knus-Merkurjev-Rost-Tignol’s The Book of Involutions, I introduced the definitions of split semisimple groups and their representations. I constructed root systems and proved that every split semisimple admits a central isogeny from a simply connected group and to an adjoint group, and classified the classical groups (type A, B, C, D) via root systems.

Limits, Colimits, Etc.

Published:

I presented a talk at the UCLA Infinity Categories Seminar on Limits, Colimits, and their Constructions. Following Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of Riehl-Verity’s Elements of Infinity Category Theory, I introduced diagram infinity-categories, defined limits and colimits in the infinity-categorical setting, and proved the preservation of limits by right adjoints.

Tame and Wild Quivers

Published:

I presented a talk at the UCLA Quiver Representations Seminar on Tame and Wild Quivers. Following Chapter 7 of Kirillov’s Quiver Representations and Quiver Varieties, I introduced the definitions of tame and wild quivers, the tame-wild dichotomy (due to Drozd), and introduced the necessary technology to prove a connected quiver is tame iff it is Euclidean: affine Kac-Moody algebras and their root systems, affine Coxeter elements, and defect classification of preprojective/preinjective/regular representations.

McKay Correspondence I

Published:

At the UCLA Summer Quiver Representations Seminar, I started off the seminar by introducing classical McKay Correspondence. Starting from the classification of finite subgroups of SU(2) via spherical polyhedra, I detailed the construction of the McKay quiver and the ADE classification associated to it.

McKay Correspondence II

Published:

At the UCLA Summer Quiver Representations Seminar, I continued from last week by introducing Geometric McKay Correspondence, via the classification of equivariant sheaves on P^1.

Geometric Satake Correspondence I

Published:

At the UCLA Geometric Langlands Seminar, I introduced the Geometric Satake Correspondence by defining Tannakian categories, describing the basics of Tannakian reconstruction, and sketching a (very vague) proof of the correspondence via Mirković-Vilonen’s approach.

Jacquet-Langlands Correspondence

Published:

This was my final project for Math 205B Topics in Number Theory. The course covered L-functions after Tate’s thesis, and I gave my talk on the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence.

Introduction to Monstrous Moonshine

Published:

I organised the UCLA Participating Algebra Seminar in Spring 2024. We discussed Monstrous Moonshine, and I introduced the seminar by giving a broad description of the pieces in Moonshine and how they fit together.

teaching

Olga Radko Endowed Math Circle

Math Circle, UCLA, 2021

I have been teaching at the Olga Radko Endowed Math Circle as a Lead Instructor from Fall 2021-present. I’ve led classes for students aged 11-18 and introduced them to advanced mathematical topics such as group theory, random walks, and combinatorial game theory. I worked on curriculum development, instructor training, and administration alongside my teaching duties.

Math 120

Coaching, Yale University, 2024

I am the TA for Math 120 at Yale this Fall. Together with Pedro Suarez, I run weekly review sessions up until the first midterm.
