I am a fifth-year PhD student in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Delaware, where I work with Dr. Sebastian Cioabă. My research lies in algebraic and spectral graph theory, with a particular focus on distance-regular graphs,  a highly structured class of graphs with connections to algebraic combinatorics, coding theory, and design theory. I am especially interested in understanding how the algebraic and spectral properties of these graphs reveal their underlying structure.
