I’m a PhD student studying game theory and optimization at UC Santa Barbara, where I am advised by Jason Marden with the support of the NSF GRFP. Previously, I completed my BS in EECS at UC Berkeley.

My research interests are quite broad, but recently, I’ve been working on problems related to inventory control and two-sided matching markets. If you’d like to learn more, see my recent publications.

Send me an email if you’d like to get in touch!
