Brown University
I study Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at Brown. I’m interested in developing AI algorithms for scientific discovery and understanding complex systems.
My work brings together scientific inference, probabilistic modeling, and learning across domains. My interests span Earth system science, robotics, biomedicine, and how scientific knowledge develops.
I also enjoy and .
