Mathematics · Physics · Visualization
I am a Math and Physics student at the University of Toronto, currently in the Mathematics and Physics Specialist program. My interests lie in mathematical physics, geometry, and building clear visual representations of abstract structures.
Short, specific, and human.
My academic work focuses on the interaction between geometry, analysis, and physics. I am particularly interested in variational principles, geometric structures, and how abstract objects can be represented in concrete and visual ways.
I value clarity, correctness, and structure. Whether I am writing mathematics, building visualizations, or designing interfaces, I aim to make ideas precise and easy to follow.
I’m interested in research, teaching, and software projects where correctness and clarity matter. I especially enjoy collaborating and writing things that others can actually use.
Pick 3–6. Make each one easy to scan.
A rigorous derivation of the Einstein field equations using variational calculus. This project includes detailed proofs of the Palatini identity, Jacobi’s formula, and careful treatment of boundary terms.
Visualization of finite cyclic groups and their products using MATLAB. This project explores subgroup structures, Cayley tables, and geometric patterns arising from group operations.
A study of hyperbolic geometry on the upper half plane, including horocycles, Busemann cocycles, and the action of Fuchsian groups, developed through a supervised reading course.
Make it frictionless.
The easiest way is email. I usually reply within a day.
