I am a final year PhD candidate in machine learning at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. My research interests broadly lie at the intersection of physics and machine learning.
Previously, I attended Harvard College where I received my MSc in Computational Science and BA in Physics (Magna Cum Laude with Highest Honors). During this time I was fortunate to conduct research with Professor Efthimios Kaxiras and Philip Kim on feature engineering to predict materials properties and heterostructure design, respectively.
In addition, I have interests in: AI in Africa, China-Africa relations, renewable technology, data science consulting, and investment management. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer, running and traveling.
