I'm a senior at Cornell University double majoring in math and computer science advised by Professor Chris De Sa. I'm primarily interested in applications of topological and geometric methods in deep learning, and in my free time I enjoy competitive math and coding. You can read my blog here, where I talk about a variety of topics of interest.
I am actively seeking PhD advisors for Fall 2021.
