I’m a Brown University sophomore studying Applied Mathematics–Computer Science. I enjoy working on meaningful projects, eating chocolate covered pretzels, and getting internship offers. If you can help me with any of these, please reach out.

Selected work

NYU Langone Health — Lang Lab

I collaborate directly with Eric Lang, MD, PhD on a scikit-image pipeline for large-scale analysis of animal cerebellum histology, enabling analyses previously impractical at dataset scale.

I also partner with Esma Cetinkaya, PhD and Billur Avilar, PhD on behavioral research spaces and experimental rigs. By introducing laser cutting and 3D printing for lower-cost lab components and improving feeding and testing workflows, I’ve helped reduce routine lab work by approximately two hours per day (you're welcome, Mike and Divya).

Sadly, I have minimal screenshots, pictures, or links to share at the moment. Research is proprietary, I guess.

VISTEC

Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology

I did some research with Rujikorn Charakorn, PhD, on human-AI cooperation within the Overcooked environment, largely around robustness and how to train and evaluate under very limited computational resources (the 3060 that used to run my Minecraft shaders).

Research papers

  • Investigating the Effects of Diversification Methods in Generating Training Partners for Human-AI Cooperation

    Studying how training-partner diversity affects cooperative agent performance and robustness.

  • Imitation Learning as an Alternative to Reinforcement Learning for Human-AI Cooperation

    Exploring imitation learning as an alternative approach to training cooperative agents.

Full Stack @ Brown — Youth Japan

As part of a team project for Youth Japan, I built a searchable and filterable events tab.

My broader work with Full Stack @ Brown spans frontend and backend development using React, JavaScript, and Firebase.
