Hello! Welcome to my website.

I'm a grad student in mathematics but I have lots of interests, from botany to philosophy to music theory. Sometimes I write about them. So grab a cup of coffee or tea and relax:

Check out my blog for some fun discussion and writings.

The archive is where I store my research, music, videos and assorted media.

Feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk!

Music of the Week: Analogiques A and B by Iannis Xenakis

Currently Reading: The Age of Empire by Eric Hobsbawm

Thoughts:

• Most mathematical arguments live beyond their strict formalization. Even when one can make arguments rigorous from sheaf theory or mathematical logic, it's important to realize that the idea of the argument is not the same as the formalization of the argument.
• In the manner by which they reshape our political landscpae, every recent technology seems to pale in comparison to the projects of mass literacy that start in the 19th century. No matter how advanced our computers are, the political change brought upon by access to reading seems to tower over them all.
• Multi-level marketing schemes keep on advertising themselves on campus, pastering flyers over classrooms and writing their messages on the chalkboards. They need to be made illegal, or at least we need university regulation stopping these predatory scams from making a mess of our campus and harming students.

Music of the Week: Lepton by Charles Wuorinen

Currently Reading: Quantum Field Theory: A Tourist Guide for Mathematicians by Gerald B. Folland

Thoughts:

• US Americans really seem to hate service workers.
• Nationality is such a powerful force in our politics, I have no idea how historians of the future will grapple with its complexity, power and ubiquity.
• Doing good mathematics is mostly a function of how much you know and how much time you dedicate to writing.
