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 optimal control problems for energy systems. If you’d like to learn more, see my recent publications.

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