I am a CS Ph.D. student at Princeton, advised by Karthik Narasimhan. I am generously supported by the NSF GRFP Fellowship, the GEM Fellowship, and the President’s Fellowship. I previously studied Mathematics at Stanford where I was fortunate to have been advised by Chelsea Finn, Yoonho Lee, Pranav Rajpurkar, and Christine Taylor. I am interested in mathematical reasoning.
