Hi! I’m a fifth year masters student in EECS from the Bay Area. My research is in deep learning theory with Prof. Yi Ma; currently, I’m working on problems in deep representation learning. During undergrad, I was a TA for four semesters, including one semester on EE127 course staff. In my free time, I play chess, basketball, and CS:GO, and mess around with my LaTeX setup. Feel free to email me about anything, from research to the Warriors’ chances at a chip next season. Looking forward to a great semester!
