About me

I am a second-year student in the department of mathematics at MIT. Before that, I studied math at Harvard and then spent a year working in finance.

My current interests include algorithms and computational biology.

Outside of classes and research, this semester I am co-organizing the student applied math seminar, and contributing to the AMS grad student blog.
