About Me
I’m an undergraduate student at UMass Amherst studying Computational Mathematics with Honors. I am currently involved in artificial life research at Amherst College where I am advised by Lee Spector, and have practical experience with language models and reinforcement learning. My primary research interest is in biologically-inspired learning systems.
