I’m an undergrad at UMass Amherst studying Computational Math with multidisciplinary honors. I am involved in artificial life and open-endedness research at Amherst College where I am advised by Lee Spector, and have previously worked on analyzing and estimating support for US presidential candidates at UMass CICS under Przemyslaw Grabowicz. My research interests include complex systems, computational intelligence, and bio-inspired computing.
