I'm a B.S. student at Stanford studying computer science and math. Most of my prior work is in language retrieval, NeRFs, and real-time visual decoding.

I do research at the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab (Fei-Fei Li), as part of Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL).

Previously, I've built Ocular Diagnostics, a VC-backed brain health startup. We used eye movements to monitor the onset of neurobehavioral disorders.

In the past, I've:

  • Developed a SOTA retrieval system (ICLR 2024)
  • Used pupil-tracking to build the most robust method for diagnosing neurobehavioral conditions (raised from Soma, published in Nature Scientific Reports)
  • Made editing NeRFs go brrrr (2x speedup)
  • Built first encoder-decoder architecture to generate text from MEG

Some of my most fun side projects:

  • Made a boba vending machine over a weekend and sold across Stanford (pictured above)
  • Wrote Bayesian filtering algorithms, learned surgery, implanted sub-cortical devices into rodents, and decoded signals with these algorithms at Science
  • Built a wearable that uses brain signals to steer a wheelchair
  • Finetuned Mistral to make a personal email agent — email me to see :)
  • Built tech for catching sex trafficking, building cheaper ventilators, and the NYC volunteering hub while running Coding for Impact
