About

At the intersection of mathematics and computation

I'm a Mathematics & Statistics student at the University of Toronto with a minor in Computer Science. My undergraduate research focuses on applying Bayesian inference and machine learning to astronomical datasets, while my project work spans time-series forecasting, computer vision, and quantitative finance.

Beyond academics, I'm a CSIA Level II certified ski instructor, a piano player, and a photographer who finds inspiration around the world.
