Hi! I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Mathematics at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Jose H. Blanchet. I am broadly interested in probability theory and its applications.

Before, I received my bachelor’s degree in Pure Mathematics from University of Waterloo, where I was fortunate to work with Profs. Yu-Ru Liu, Yi Shen, Alexander Schied and Ruodu Wang.

Outside of research, I enjoy tennis 🎾 and soccer ⚽.
