About Me

Hi! I’m a first year PhD student in Computer Science at NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, working on explainable machine learning and machine learning for healthcare, advised by Professor Rajesh Ranganath.

I graduated from Yale University with a MS in Computer Science and a BS in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. As an undergraduate student, I had the pleasure to work with Professor Smita Krishnaswamy and Professor David van Dijk on projects investigating the use of graph neural networks on analyzing sequencing data.
