I am pursuing a Masters of Engineering at MIT, advised by Jonathan Ragan-Kelley. My research interests include domain specific languages, compilers, and hardware architectures for high performance computing. Currently, I work on Exo, a user-schedulable, domain specific language embedded in Python for writing high-performance computing kernels. You can read the original paper here.
I obtained my bachelors in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 2023. I’ve previously interned at Jane Street, D.E. Shaw & Co., Meta, and the University of Maryland’s Joint Quantum Institute.
I’m also a member of the MIT MLSys Discussion Group, MIT Lion Dance, MIT Gymnastics, and MIT Asian Dance Team.
