:::spoiler Short bio
I got my PhD at UT Austin under the (wise) guidance of David Zuckerman in 2011. After that I spent two wonderful years in Princeton as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study with Avi Wigderson and at DIMACS, Rutgers. After that I spent an enjoyable year as a researcher at Microsoft Research, Silicon Valley Lab. I had a great time on sabbatical visiting the MIT math department from 2018-2020.
