Hello! My name is Alex Moon and I'm a graduate student studying algebraic combinatorics at Dartmouth College. I completed my undergrad at UW - Madison in May 2022 and my master's degree at UW - Milwaukee in December 2024, working primarily with Pamela E. Harris (full list of collaborators can be found on my publications page). In 2025, I was awarded the UW - Milwaukee Distinguished Graduate Student Fellowship.

My research centers on algebraic combinatorics, particularly on parking functions and Kohnert posets. I like to start from the combinatorics side and build algebraic approaches from there. In doing so, I look for natural generalizations and unexpected connections. To make this easier, I'm always looking for opportunities to broaden my background - currently by learning about representation theory and algebraic geometry. A detailed breakdown of my research can be found on my publications page.
My office is Kemeny Hall room 222. Feel free to reach out via email at alex.(lastname).gr@dartmouth.edu. For non-math business, use alexander.(lastname)144@gmail.com Keep an eye out for me at conferences and summer schools!Â
In January you could find me presenting with Beth Anne Castellano at the 2025 JMM.

You can find my CV here and my website here. Titles, links, and abstracts for my published work and preprints can be found on my research page.
In my free time you'll find me practicing piano, running, or playing chess. I've also spent time learning just enough Mandarin to embarrass myself. When I need something to look forward to, I like to plan one-day dawn-dusk trips to interesting landmarks or to plan a piano recital.
