Work and academic experiences
Spending my time as an academic researcher, industrial intern, and a co-founder during my undergraduate years, I found myself interested in applying engineering tools to solve social and organizational problems. MS&E's dual focus on these topics, combined with its exceptional flexibility, made it seem like the best fit for me.
Impact you hope to have in your field and the world
The PhD journey is quite unpredictable, but what I have in my mind right now is enabling small businesses to utilize the unprecedented amount of data they are gathering by making novel data analytics tools accessible to them.

Reading, playing guitar and piano. Playing soccer and volleyball.
