Academic and work experience
My rewarding undergraduate research experiences prompted me to pursue a PhD. Having worked on algebraic combinatorics, power systems, and data science, I realized that I'm interested in pursuing research that is both theoretically interesting and practically meaningful. I believe MS&E's research interests align closely with mine.
Impact I hope to have in my field and the world
I'm hoping to study the mathematical foundations of tangible networked systems, and I'm excited to develop research skills and mature as a scientist at MS&E.
Interests and hobbies
I enjoy hiking, biking, and making bread.
