Applied Math Undergrad @ Caltech | Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Global Ambassador

As an emerging computer scientist, I’m motivated by the power of numbers to tell powerful stories— stories that confront blind spots, challenge traditional assumptions, and evoke social dialogue. I am broadly interested in the application of artificial intelligence to create responsible, human-centered technologies.

I'm a student.

As an undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology, I am pursuing a B.S. in Applied Computational Mathematics. My prospective graduation date is June 2029. At school, I am involved in NCAA DIII Track and Field, the First-Year Success Research Institute, and the Linde Center for Science, Society, and Policy. Go Beavers!

I'm a researcher.

I began writing my very first independent research paper as a sophomore in high school; now, I've worked with researchers at the MIT Kavli Institute, interned and co-authored at the Indiana University Observatory on Social Media, and presented my work to Nobel laureates. Now, I am working at Caltech's Linde Center for Science, Society, and Policy as part of the Caltech Election Integrity Project.

I'm an innovator.

In high school, I collaborated with classmates to prototype Storm Shield, a wearable designed for hard-of-hearing athletes inspired by my own experiences with hearing aids. We won the 2025 Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition and $125,000, and we were recently chosen as Samsung Solve Global Ambassadors. Today, Samsung and the International Olympic Committee continue to incubate our project on the road to commercialization.
