about me

Hi 🌊! I'm a third-year PhD student in UC San Diego's CS Theory Group where I am very lucky to work with Barna Saha and Russell Impagliazzo. I am interested in algorithm design, fine-grained complexity, as well as computational complexity and learning theory.

about me

Hi 🌊! I'm a third-year PhD student in UC San Diego's CS Theory Group where I am very lucky to work with Barna Saha and Russell Impagliazzo. I am interested in algorithm design, fine-grained complexity, as well as computational complexity and learning theory.

Previously, I worked for a year as a Quantitative Analyst in the Fixed Income, Secured Lending Group at Morgan Stanley. Before that, I received my undegraduate degree in mathematics from Princeton in 2021, where I was fortunate to work with Gillat Kol. I also completed an internship with the AI Infrastructure Group at aidoc during the summer of 2019.

When not at the office, I enjoy running, hiking, and pottery.

Thank you to Sharon for giving me the template to her personal website.
