Bio
I'm an incoming PhD student at Stanford at the Institute of Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME). Before that, also at Stanford, I completed my master's degree in computer science and my bachelor's degree in mathematics.
Broadly, I am interested in deep learning theory, including developing interpretable machine learning models and mathematics which helps explain their behavior. Currently, I am working on tabular foundation models. If you are interested in collaborating, please feel free to reach out!
