I work in algebraic graph theory. My background is in eigenvalues of graphs and digraphs, graph polynomials, association schemes, and linear algebra. I am interested in studying these areas, and also in using tools from these areas in new settings, such as quantum computing and optimization.

Highlights
Background
From October 2019 to August 2020, I was a post-doctoral fellow at Université de Montréal and Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, supervised by Luc Vinet. From September 2017 to August 2019, I was a post-doctoral fellow at Université libre de Bruxelles with Samuel Fiorini. I was a visiting scholar at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley, from September 1 to November 1, 2017. From September 2015 to August 2017, I was a post-doc at University of Waterloo with Chris Godsil.
I completed my PhD in Mathematics at Simon Fraser University (2011–2015) under the supervision of Bojan Mohar. The title of my thesis is “Simple eigenvalues of graphs and digraphs”. I completed my Masters of Mathematics (2009–2010) at University of Waterloo in Combinatorics & Optimization, under the supervision of Chris Godsil. My undergraduate degree (2004–2009) is also from University of Waterloo. I have a double major in pure mathematics and combinatorics and optimization.
