Columbia University · The Juilliard School
Incoming student in the Columbia–Juilliard Program, studying computer science at Columbia and classical trumpet performance at Juilliard. Academically, I am interested in machine learning theory and mathematical reasoning for LLMs.
Background
I grew up in Bridgewater, New Jersey. From 2023 to 2025, my research was advised by Prof. Ambuj Tewari at the University of Michigan, focusing on online learning theory and the learning-theoretic foundations of language generation, with papers at ICML, COLT, and ALT.
I started playing trumpet in fifth grade. Since then, I've performed across the US, Italy, and East Asia, and held principal chairs in several regional and national ensembles. At the Juilliard School, I will study with Professor Christopher Martin.
