Hello! I am Aiya, a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO) at Georgia Tech. I am fortunate to be advised by Will Perkins.

My interests are broadly in Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Statistical Physics. I am 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) and ARC-ACO Fellowship (Spring 2025). You can find my (extended) CV here.
