I'm a first-year computer science masters student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researching audio coding under professor Minje Kim. I also recieved my bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am primarily interested in neural network quantization, audio coding, and machine learning theory. Originally, I am from Chicago, but I will be living in Seattle over the summer for an intership at Microsoft. I currently foster two cats, and recently I've been playing Slay the Spire 2 in my free time.
