‘Education Is Not the Learning of Facts, But the Training of the Mind To Think.’ --- Albert Einstein
I received my B.S. in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science/Engineering from the University of Southern California. Currently, I am pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at USC.
My research interests lie at the intersection of formal methods, robotics, and machine learning, with a focus on verifiable safety for robotic and autonomous systems. I am particularly interested in applications in autonomous driving and drones.

Fun fact: Beyond my favorite quote by Einstein mentioned above, I’m also deeply fond of Gauss’s famous remark that “Mathematics is the queen of the sciences, and number theory the queen of mathematics.” I first encountered this quote in a number theory textbook, but at the time I couldn’t fully appreciate its meaning. It wasn’t until I later watched this wonderful video by 3Blue1Brown that the beauty of the statement unfolded. Seeing how everything “just happens,” effortlessly beyond intuition, was profoundly fascinating and left a lasting impression.
