Hi, I am a Computer Science (Major) and Statistics (Minor) Bachelor’s student at Arizona State University, working under Dr. Heewook Lee.

I tentatively plan to graduate with a B.S. in Computer Science in Spring 2026 and aspire to apply for MS/PhD programs that start in Fall 2027. I am no longer on the lookout for research internships for Summer 2025. If you’re interested in working with me otherwise, please reach out!

Career Interests
The impact of Machine Learning (ML) Engineer and ML Research Scientist roles are closely linked to my values and interests. Through my projects, I seek to productively employ a toolstack of ML skills- Stochastic modelling and Software Engineering (SWE) skills- DevOps, and Cloud.

Research Interests
I’ve yet to develop them completely. I’m exploring algorithm design for ML models in applications for medicine. Molecular genomic sequencing seem the most interesting. I am interested in machine learning interpretability, graph representation learning, model uncertainty, unsupervised learning, and causal inference. I am passionate about their applications to improve human productivity and decision making in domains like healthcare.
