Highlights

May 2024. Grateful for a successful application result for the AWS Public Sector Cloud Credit for Research program. Here's to less frugality with Amazon Bedrock!
April 2024. Attended the Cornell Blockhain Conference 2024 hosted at Cornell Tech: a super rewarding experience which included insightful panels such as one on the regulation of the crypto market with a senior policy advisor from Coinbase, and another on the expansion of NFTs at Christie's and Sotheby's with reps from both. Furthermore, there were some nice Keynotes, including one from Emin Gün Sirer, Ava Labs founder (and former Cornell CS professor), with whom I also got some one-on-one to share my research and hear his thoughts!
March 2024. Honored to accept the invite to serve as a research mentor for the inaugural Student Research Institute (SRI) by the Harvard Undergraduate OpenBio Lab. Excited to conduct an original research project alongside my assigned mentee this summer!
May 2023. Grateful to receive an award for my service as a TA this semester from the Department of Computer Science at Cornell!
April 2023. Had a great time participating in Schonfeld’s inaugural PhD “datathon” in NYC, leveraging real world assets to explore quantitative finance with portfolio managers and researchers.
