I am a fifth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University, where I am very fortunate to be advised by Éva Tardos. Before that, I graduated from Yale University with degrees in Mathematics (B.S., with distinction) and Economics (B.A.).

I am broadly interested in theoretical computer science. In particular, my research to date focuses on theoretical problems at the intersection of algorithms, learning, game theory, networks, and randomness.
