Hello Internet!
I'm a PhD student at UT Austin and a Visiting Student Researcher at
Caltech. My research focuses on code generation capabilities
for automated and collaborative scientific discovery.
At UT Austin, I work with Swarat Chaudhuri and at Caltech, I work with
Yisong Yue .
Cautiously optimistic as code generation shapes the future of
programming and scientific research!

Misc
Outside of research, I fly gliders (unpowered aircraft) at Lake Elsinore, CA and Briggs, TX . I volunteer as a Math instructor as well. I used to teach College Prep Math at the Coleman State Prison in Lockhart, Texas and currently volunteer as a math tutor with the Caltech Y and a SAT tutor with UPchieve.
