Computer Science & Discrete Math • Virginia Tech • Olney, MD
Hi there! I'm a senior at Virginia Tech, studying computer science and discrete mathematics. My current area of interest is graphical neural networks, but I'm equally passionate about skiing cool places and eating great food. Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI), a three-week math conference in Park City, Utah, where I explored extremal combinatorics and its applications. Learn more about me and see some of my projects below!
