About Me

I'm a Research Assistant at Cornell, fortunate enough to work under Prof. Peter Frazier in leveraging LLMs to efficiently navigate and rank Pareto-optimal solutions. During undergrad, I used integer programming techniques to help schedule courses at Cornell under Prof. David Shmoys and completed two Mathematics REUs under Prof. Jannick Rolland and Prof. Tian An Wong. I was also very fortunate to read Automorphic Forms with Professor Peter Uttenthal as part of the Cornell Directed Reading Program.

I graduated from Cornell in May 2025 with a double major in Mathematics and Classics. I originally applied to Cornell as a Computer Science major but enjoyed learning about math and the ancient world. Reading Augustine's confessions under my advisor Professor Charles Brittain during my first semester was influential in my decision to pursue the Classics major.
