Howdy!

I’m Mina Haghighat Parast, a fourth-year PhD student in mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin, advised by Joe Kileel.

My research focuses on addressing the computational challenges of multi-marginal optimal transport (MMOT), with an emphasis on scalability and applications in representation learning.

I have been teaching mathematics since 2018, and I love helping students build understanding and confidence in the subject.

Feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to connect over mathematics, research, or shared interests!
