Masters Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2024
BioI am an undergraduate student at Stanford University studying Computer Science and Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on artificial intelligence. I am constantly seeking to learn and develop new machine-learning techniques and build applications based on them, especially in the areas of health, environment, and human-computer interaction. I’m especially interested in brain-inspired computing for energy-efficient systems.
As a software engineering intern at AMD AI Group since June 2024, I’ve gained expertise in machine learning compilers and optimized model performance across diverse hardware architectures. I unified AI/ML model implementations for high-performance computing on CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators. I also developed masked and causal attention modules on Torch-MLIR and IREE, enabling models like LLaMa and Stable Diffusion on the AMD stack.
My other recent projects include the development of 1) a wildfire prediction method by analyzing trends in environmental, meteorological, and geological data with an aim to mitigate the impact of California’s devastating wildfire seasons, 2) a respiratory disease exacerbation prediction system based on a novel spatio-temporal artificial intelligence algorithm and local environmental sensor network, 3) a machine learning technique for automating patient facial condition assessment and surgery planning, 4) blood alcohol level estimation using infrared imaging and deep neural networks, and 5) a novel image recognition framework utilizing a quantum optical convolutional neural network.
I have published papers based on my research in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Environmental Management, IEEE Access, Electronics, and Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine. I have won top national awards in the USA Physics, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Junior Math, Computing, and Biology Olympiads and was named Regeneron STS Top 300 Finalist in 2023.
Outside of academics, I play clarinet, tennis, and volunteer with organizations to help sensory-deficient individuals, including the Baker Institute for Children with Hearing Loss, Starkey Hearing Foundation, and VocaliD. -

BioMy group's research is driven by two questions: how do built environments impact human wellbeing, and how can human-centered engineering design improve and amplify these wellbeing impacts? We examine how built features shape wellbeing across diverse populations and settings. These features range from access to nature and material choices to the use of ambient intelligence systems. With this knowledge, we develop tools, methods, and design interventions to improve wellbeing. We pursue this work through direct collaboration with those most affected, from older adults and caregivers to residents, communities, and the workers and practitioners who shape the built environment itself. In the past, my group focused on the design and evaluation of sustainable, durable construction materials including bio-based composites and ductile cement-based composites.
