I am a second-year PhD student in Statistics at UC Berkeley. I am broadly interested in understanding the nature of intelligence and computation, in both biological and artificial brains.

I previously received a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Yale University, where I had the chance to work with Professors Helen Caines, Smita Krishnaswamy, and Ian Adelstein.

I care deeply about mentorship and fostering inclusive research environments. I am always happy to chat with students and researchers, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. Please feel free to reach out!
