I’m starting a summer internship at Microsoft Research next week.
Seattle summers are July–September :)
Before coming to UW, I earned my B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University and then my M.S. from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Current Research
Trace Reconstruction
I’ve studied generalizations of the trace reconstruction problem on trees. I’m interested in exploring similar statistical reconstruction problems.
Hypergraph Matching
Finding perfect matchings in bipartite hypergraphs is, in general, NP-hard. However, when the edges of a hypergraph satisfy certain expansion conditions, it becomes possible to study the problem algorithmically. I’m interested in studying these sufficient conditions, specifically as they relate to allocation problems.
Papers
Personal, but work related
Yoga
I’m a certified yoga instructor, and I completed by 200 RYT in the summer of 2019. I teach yoga classes at UW.
Running
I run a lot. I really like to run. Often it’s with Race Condition Running, which is open to anyone who’d like to join us!
