Biography

I'm a PhD student at UC Berkeley, affiliated with Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research. I work on machine learning and combinatorial optimization, with a special interest in systems applications. I graduated from MIT with an S.B. in Computer Science in 2019, where I was advised by Saman Amarasinghe and affiliated with the MIT COMMIT lab.

If you go to MIT, you've likely received an email from me at some point about a machine learning reading group or talk -- from 2017-2018, I was the co-president of MIT MIC, and volunteered my time by ordering a tremendous amount of pizza to entice students to read papers together. Now, I sit on the board of the non-profit Machine Intelligence Community. In the past, I've organized HackMIT and Blueprint.
