Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo
I am a mathematician, having completed my PhD in 2012 at Stanford University. Currently, I am the director of Euler Circle, a mathematics institute for advanced high-school students in Palo Alto, California.
My research interests are broad, including number theory, combinatorics, probability, and game theory.
I love learning new things and working on new research projects. If you would like to do some mathematics with me, I can be easily tempted!
