about

hello! :) I am a third-year BS/MS student at the University of Washington studying computer science and mathematics.

in no particular order, I am broadly interested in research and discussion regarding:

  • modern and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms; usable privacy and security
  • CS education, especially in introductory theory courses (discrete math, probability, algorithms, etc.)
  • human-centered software and interaction design; human-AI interaction and ethics

teaching

while studying at UW, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to serve as a teaching assistant for many quarters' worth of their introductory computer science courses.

in Winter 2026, I am TAing for CSE 312 (Foundations of Computing II).

previously, I have been a TA for:
