About
Hello! My name is Anakin and I’m a student studying mathematics @ UIUC. My interests fall in the union of abstract algebra, combinatorics, and algorithms. Currently my primary interests lie in algebraic combinatorics, computational group theory, and computational commutative algebra. When I’m not learning about those things, I love spending time talking about coffee and motorsport (Formula 1, WEC, IMSA, IndyCar, Formula E, NASCAR, GTWC).
