I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at UC Berkeley. Previously, I graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a concurrent Master's degree in Computer Science.
My research interest lies broadly in theoretical statistics and econometrics.
To junior students: I devote 30 mins weekly to chatting about research and career in general. I encourage you to reach out and will prioritize underrepresented groups.
