Bio

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student studying applied mathematics at UC Berkeley. I am grateful to have been funded by the DOE CSGF fellowship and to be currently supported by the Simons Dissertation Fellowship in Mathematics and an H2H8 graduate research grant, and to be advised by Professor Lin Lin. I am also grateful to have recently received UC Berkeley’s Bernard Friedman Memorial Prize in Mathematics for the year 2025-2026.

I completed my undergraduate degree at MIT in 2017. I majored in “Mathematics with Computer Science,” aka course 18C.

In between, I worked as a software engineer at coda.io for two years, took half a year off to travel and have other fun life experiences, and worked with a small nonprofit for a year before deciding to go to graduate school. I started working with Professor Lin over the summer of 2021 and started graduate school in the Fall of 2022.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, cooking and searching for the best restaurants in the East Bay, and learning to be a little less bad at singing. I used to be an avid ultimate frisbee player but I’m currently in the process of rethinking my physical activity due to a number of injuries over the last few years.
