I will be starting as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Cal State Fullerton in the Fall 2026 semester!

I am finishing my Computer Science PhD at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering, advised by Phebe Vayanos as part of the USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society (CAIS) and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. I obtained a BS in Computer Science and Mathematics with a humanities concentration in American Studies from Harvey Mudd College in 2019, graduating with high distinction and departmental honors in mathematics. I am also a former backend software engineer at Aspiration Partners, Inc.
