About Me

I’m a 5th year PhD student in the CS Theory Group at CU Boulder, advised by Rafael Frongillo and Bo Waggoner. I am generally interested in theoretical machine learning, game theory, and algorithmic economics, with a focus on learning from strategic agents. I was previously an undergraduate at Caltech, where I majored in Math and Computer Science. In between, I spent 2 years at Google where I helped build and launch Vertex AI for structured data.
