About Me

Hello! My name is Taiki Aiba, a second-year master’s student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am expected to graduate in May 2027 with the following:

  • Master of Science in Computer Science, specialization in Machine Learning
  • Master of Science in Mathematics

I also graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in August 2025 with the following:

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, concentrations in Intelligence and Systems/Architecture
  • Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, concentrations in Discrete Mathematics and Business
  • Bachelor of Science in Applied Languages and Intercultural Studies, concentration in Japanese
  • Minor in Economics

Additionally, I completed internships at Amazon, Capital One, and IBM, was a TA for multivariable calculus, discrete math, and algorithms, and was the president of UMAC and an officer of JSA.

My research interests lie in graph theory, combinatorics, and theoretical computer science. I am currently doing research under Dr. Ernie Croot from the School of Mathematics on 4-cycle-free induced subgraphs in grid graphs. I also participated in the Polymath Jr REU, where I studied the game of EvenQuads using affine geometry under Dr. Timothy Goldberg and Dr. Lauren Rose.

I used to participate in math competitions a lot. Here are some of my achievements:

  • William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition Top 15% (2023) (score 24, rank 606)
  • University of Illinois Freshman Math Contest Third Place (2021)
  • Princeton University Mathematics Competition Division B Individual Finalist (2021) (rank 39)
  • American Invitational Mathematics Examination Qualifier (2019, 2020, 2021) (max score 10)
  • USA Mathematical Talent Search Bronze Medalist (2019, 2021)

I was also an active member on the Art of Problem Solving forums as DeToasty3.
