Hello! I am Aiya, rising 5th year Ph.D. student in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO) at Georgia Tech. And thus, I am on a postdoc market! I am fortunate to be advised by Will Perkins.

My interests are broadly in Graph Theory, Statistical Physics, and Sampling. I am the main organizer of GSCC 2027 (Graduate Students Combinatorics Conference), so keep an eye on that! I am also one of the organizers of the ACO Student Seminar (contact me if you want to give a talk!). I also enjoy math outreach and math inspired art.

I am grateful to have received David L. Brown Fellowship (Spring 2024), ARC-ACO Fellowship (Spring 2025) and FESTA Fellowship Award (Spring 2025). You can find my (extended) CV here.
