PhD Students



Sarah Dennis: Sarah recently graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a BA concentrating in mathematics and computer science. She grew up in Australia but finished high school in VT and has now lived in the United States for 8 years. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Mathematics at Brandeis and is interested in focusing on geometric topology. In her free time she enjoys playing board games, entertaining her cat, and listening to political podcasts.

Neha is currently a first year PhD student at Brandeis and is interested in graph theory and combinatorics. In her free time, she enjoys solving crosswords, playing scrabble, and hiking.

Tony received his BA in Mathematics and Classics at Colgate University, and took a gap year studying and tutoring math after graduating. He is a second-year Mathematics Ph.D. student at Brandeis. His research interest is in algebra but not yet decided. He likes playing chess and doing outdoor activities.



Hello! I received a B.S. in mathematics at UCLA with minors in philosophy and coding, and then an M.A. in math here at Brandeis. I am interested in Topology but have not yet decided what to focus on. I enjoy playing guitar, exploring, having philosophical debates, and living with intentionality. Here is something to ponder: is the sentence "The king of France is bald" true, false, or some third thing? Ask me about it!





Tudor: Tudor recently graduated Carnegie Mellon University with a BS in Mathematics and a minor in Philosophy. He is mainly interested in Number Theory, but also enjoys Algebra and Combinatorics, and loves to study the interactions between the three. In his free time, he enjoys fencing and playing basketball.

Haochen received his BS in Mathematics at Fudan University in China. He is pursuing a Mathematics PhD at Brandeis to study topology. In his free time, he loves Chinese calligraphy.

Katie received BAs in Physics and Mathematics and an MA in Mathematics from Boston University. She is pursuing a Mathematics PhD at Brandeis to study algebra and geometry with the goal of working at a research university. In her free time, she enjoys hiking and making quilts.
