Hello! I am a first year PhD student in the UPenn Theory Group, where I am incredibly fortunate to be advised by Erik Waingarten and Sanjeev Khanna. My research interests lie in algorithm design and complexity for problems in high dimensional geometry, graph theory, and machine learning. Previously, I studied computer science and math at Columbia, where I was fortunate to be mentored by Alexandr Andoni and Xi Chen.

Teaching

At Columbia, I served as a teaching assistant for the following course offerings
  • CS 4232 Advanced Algorithms (Spring 2024)
  • CS 4236 Computational Complexity (Fall 2023)
  • CS 4231 Analysis of Algorithms (Spring 2023, Fall 2022)
In 2023, I co-organized the analysis of boolean functions group for the columbia undergraduate TCS learning seminar and wrote a partial solution manual.

Other

In the past, I've interned as a software engineer at AWS and Apple and did mathematics research as part of the SMALL REU. In my free time I enjoy writing, reading, photography, running, playing music, and hiking.
