I am a fourth year PhD student at Stanford University, advised by Sourav Chatterjee and Andrea Montanari. I'm also partially funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Fellowship. I finished my undergraduate studies in mathematics and physics at UC San Diego.
Most of my recent work is in machine learning, formalization, and automated theorem proving. My mathematical interests lie in probability theory and its applications to high-dimensional statistics and mathematical physics (mostly quantum field theory), and in my free time I enjoy weightlifting, traveling, and basketball.
In summer 2026 I am working at AletheAI.
