About
My name is Minh-Tâm. I am a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Howard University. I am also a new co-organizer of a Combinatorics & Algebra Seminar based at George Washington University.
Previously, I was a Gibbs Assistant Professor (2024–25) at Yale, and a combined CLE Moore Instructor (2020–24) and NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2020–23) at MIT. I received my PhD in 2020 from UChicago, advised by Châu Ngô and Victor Ginzburg. I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
