About Me

I am a senior pursuing a BS in Applied Mathematics and MS in Computer Science. I'm interested in bringing interdisciplinary skills to large complex systems. Courses in applied math, economics, and computer science demonstrate these interests; foundation models and image processing research, as well as particle research behavior and projects developing novel satellite and plane wing designs allow me to tune design choices fitted by interdisciplinary knowledge. I look forward to working with exciting people in new and challenging spaces.
