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 co-organizer of the Combinatorics & Algebra Seminar based at George Washington University.

I received my PhD in 2020 from UChicago, advised by Châu Ngô and Victor Ginzburg. I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
