Hi! I'm currently researching context compression methods for large language models. I'm also interested in improving campaigning infrastructure and understanding media as an instrument of the colonial gaze.

Before, I was a predoctoral research fellow at MIT Sloan working on cryptocurrency market microstructure and citation networks. I studied applied mathematics and economics at Harvard College (AB/SM).

Most mornings and weekends, I'm usually doing some combination of running, biking, swimming, and weightlifting.

At Harvard, I worked on consulting projects with HDAG and ran an introductory Python bootcamp with HODP each semester. Outside of school, I led workouts with HCRC, participated in AADT (later ADT), and taught at Chinatown ACCESS.

In previous summers, I conducted biomechanics research with the Biewener Lab on physiological responses to exertion in cockatiels (Nymphicus Hollandicus). I also interned at a quantitative trading firm.
