About Me
I'm a third year Graduate Student in
Computer Science, supervised by Gary
Miller. My research interests are currently in spectral graph theory related
algorithms and their applications.
Prior to coming to CMU, I attended the
University of Waterloo where I got a Bmath in Computer Science and
Combinatorics & Optimization. On my spare time, I enjoy
creating/solving puzzles, various sports and E-sports.
