Hi! I recently completed my undergraduate studies at Princeton in May 2025, where I was fortunate to be advised by Matt Weinberg. I’m currently a master’s student at CMU, where I’m lucky to be working with Elaine Shi.

Research: My research interests are in theoretical computer science. I’ve enjoyed working on mechanism design, algorithms under uncertainty, and privacy-preserving algorithms so far: see here for more about the projects I’ve worked on.

Funding: I’m a NSF GRFP recipient, with full funding remaining for use in 2026-27 onwards (currently on reserve status). I’m also grateful to have received the Phillip Goldman ‘86 Senior Prize in Computer Science (awarded to the top CS student at Princeton) and the Goldwater Scholarship as an undergraduate.

In my free time, I’m usually playing badminton, running late to dance practice, or convincing my friends to play foosball with me. I very much enjoy talking to people, about research or otherwise — please reach out!
