Research
Original and faculty-mentored work in number theory, discrete geometry, and statistical modeling.
Extending distance-moment methods for consecutive Ford spheres from the Gaussian integers to a new imaginary quadratic setting through theoretical and computational analysis.
Advised by Dr. Gene Kopp
Recovered exact algebraic coordinates from numerical line-packing solutions, adding seven exact closed-form solutions to the Game of Sloanes and Subspace Packings databases.
With Murtadha Aljanabi · Guided by Dr. Gene Kopp and Dr. Joseph DiCapua
Accepted 10IMM abstract Subspace Packings Database Game of Sloanes
Developed xBA and xwOBA models from exit velocity and launch angle using k-nearest neighbors and generalized additive models, reaching R² = 0.944.
With Dr. Nadejda Drenska, Dr. Peter Wolenski, and LSU Softball
Directed Reading Program
Three mentored studies used to build breadth in applied modeling, statistics, and discrete mathematics.
Currently studying the construction and interpretation of epidemiological models through COVID-19 data, with attention to transmission, recovery, and the assumptions behind model behavior.

Personal projects
Three working projects spanning games, campus nutrition, and probabilistic sports analysis.
1,000+games played since launch
StatStack is a free daily NBA lineup puzzle. I designed and built the browser experience, added Supabase analytics, and grew its first audience through direct outreach to basketball creators.
LSU Dining data, organized around your goals.
A full-stack Next.js application that connects directly to LSU Dining’s public API through server-side routes, refreshes menu data every five minutes, and supports serving-size adjustments, macro comparisons, and protein rankings.
Playoff odds, counterfactuals, and a rooting guide.
A Streamlit engine that simulates thousands of remaining-season outcomes using matchup-specific win probabilities. It recalculates playoff odds under forced results and identifies which outcomes most help a selected team.
