I'm an incoming first-year at Harvard College where I hope to concentrate in applied math and statistics. I currently live in Phoenix, Arizona.

I spend most of my time (perhaps aimlessly) reading. This habit very naturally led me to develop an interest in research, and I now hope to go into academia.

My research interests are broadly related to statistical machine learning and high-dimensional statistics. I'm particularly motivated by applications in learning theory and representation learning. I also retain some interest in applied statistical methods and scientific computation.

Above all, I try to have fun, take nothing too seriously, and maintain a sense of wonder for the universe. If you took the time to visit, I'd love to hear from you.

• Some texts that have been influential to me are Wigner's paper on the effectiveness of mathematics in natural science, Hamming's talk on conducting research, and Polanyi's book on personal knowledge (if you have the time).
