I think in equations.
I feel in music. I'm a high schooler who does both seriously.
Mathematics
I started competition math in high school and haven't looked back. Two AIME qualifications, a published paper, and a bronze at IRPSC — math isn't just a subject for me. It's a way of seeing.
My research sits at the intersection of math and the real world: probability, rational functions, and the ways numbers can reveal or deceive.
