Ph.D. Candidate

About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo advised by Oliver Pechenik. Before that I studied at the University of Los Andes, where I completed a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Mathematics working with Carolina Benedetti. A constant theme in my work has been the exploration of discrete structures through their interaction with algebraic structures. Specifically, I have studied problems in the intersection of Schubert calculus, Hopf algebras, semigroup theory, polytopes coming from symmetric functions, and combinatorics.
