Welcome, QED! I am an undergraduate student at Harvard University, studying mathematics, economics, and ethnomusicology.
I founded, served as Editor-In-Chief of, and currently serve as Editor Emeritus of The Harvard College Mathematics Review. I also serve as a Senior Editor of The Harvard Economist, and as a reviewer for Zentralblatt MATH. I thoroughly enjoy research in {mathematics, economics, musicology}, as well as problem-solving, skiing, rock climbing, and math rap. I am also an active alumnus of both The Research Science Institute (RSI) and The Harvard College Program for Research in Science and Engineering (PRISE), a student member of the Mathematical Association of America, and Director of Staff Writers for Harvard College Tuesday Magazine.
This page contains information regarding all my current and past research projects, research fellowships, publications, extracurricular life, and press.
The Harvard College Mathematics Review (HCMR)
Our third issue is now available! The issue includes articles by Shrenik Shah, Pablo Azar, Iurie Boreico, Prof. Thomas Lam, and others. You can also check out our earlier issues.
