What the work is

What does day-to-day look like

Design original and challenging mathematics problems that test the reasoning limits of large language models, especially in multi-step, abstract, and proof-based settings.
Solve problems independently and write detailed, logically structured solutions with clear justifications.

Review model-generated solutions, identify mathematical errors or missing arguments, and provide precise feedback, annotations, and corrections..
Contribute to defining new evaluation benchmarks based on Mathematics curricula spanning from early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.

Develop and validate Python-based solutions for computational tasks using approved scientific libraries.
Work on theorem-prover tasks using Lean, including translating mathematical problems and proofs into formal language, verifying that formal proofs compile correctly.
