Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Northeastern University, advised by Prof. Rajmohan Rajaraman. My research interests lie in Theoretical Computer Science and Machine Learning. I am passionate about designing and applying efficient algorithms and interpretable machine learning models to solve real-world problems, especially drawing on insights from graph theory and computational complexity. Previously, I studied Math and Computer Science at Amherst College. During my free time, I enjoy taking pictures.
