Los Angeles, California, United States
I'm an applied mathematics undergrad at USC (MS starting Fall 2026) working at the intersection of topology and machine learning. My current research applies topological data analysis to improve NLP efficiency, advised by Prof. Alvin Jin. This summer I'm joining CriticalPoint as an AI Operations intern. Long-term I'm headed toward a PhD in applied math or ML. Outside research I play poker, run, and make music.
