Biographical Information

A Short Bio

I am a senior mathematics major and a Greek minor at Bowdoin College.

Before Bowdoin, I went to high school in Kuala Lumpur where I graduated from Mont’ Kiara International School in 2019.

I spent the 2020-2021 academic year on leave from Bowdoin during which I conducted research at the Karanicolas Lab of the Fox Chase Cancer Center developing machine learning tools for drug discovery. During this time I was also a visiting student at Columbia University in the Mathematics Department. I spent summer 2021 as an independent contributor at The Xena Project of the Imperial College London and worked on the formalization of mathematics in the Lean theorem prover, writing proofs for the MathLib .

I spent summer 2022 at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig as a visiting researcher in the Emmy Noether Group - Numerical and Probabalistic Nonlinear Algera where I worked on a project at the interface of enumerative and real algebraic geometry. More recently, I have been thinking about using machine learning to better understand structures in algebraic geometry, as well as about $\mathbb{A}^{1}$ enumerative geometry.

This past fall, I was a visiting student at Harvard University.

Fun Facts

In my spare time I enjoy reading texts in Ancient Greek, especially philosophy and tragic theater.

If I was a Springer Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Saunders Mac Lane’s Categories for the Working Mathematician. Find out what Springer Graduate Text in Mathematics you are at the following link.
