About Me

I am a senior undergraduate majoring in computer sciences and mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research interests lie at the intersection of computer systems and machine learning, where I aim to develop next-generation, machine learning-driven systems that enhance computational efficiency. It is my great fortune to be working with Prof. Shivaram Venkataraman and Prof. Juncheng Yang. Feel free to reach out for anything you’d like to talk!

I’m acvtively applying for Ph.D. positions starting in Fall 2025!

Miscellanies

I watch and play football (soccer if you insist) and I’m a fan of the GOAT Lionel Messi.
I love reading and collecting quotations. Here’s one of my favorites: “I hate quotations. Just tell me what you know!” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I generally read, think, and talk pretty slow, and I applaud slow science. I walk slow too, but I would rather walk far than fast.
