About Me
I'm currently a graduate student in the Applied Mathematics Department at UC Davis. I completed my undergraduate degree with majors in mathematics and statistics at UCLA.
My research interests are primarily in machine learning and statistics.
In my free time I enjoying going to the gym, cooking at home, and listening to good music.
