Freshman at Columbia University studying Mathematics & Computer Science
I'm interested in math, physics, and computing, and I like working on things that help me understand them better. Recently that's included simulating fusion reactor behavior, reading about how we evaluate AI systems, and studying abstract algebra. I don't have a fixed direction yet, but I enjoy learning, asking questions, and taking on projects that teach me something new.
An analysis of how language shapes authority and identity in academic settings (written for the university writing class at Columbia).
An exploration of how Valeria Luiselli refuses narrative closure in "Tell Me How It Ends" to resist the extraction and commodification of migrant children's trauma (written for the university writing class at Columbia).
Working on new ways to think about AI sentience beyond the Turing Test. Trying to build frameworks that actually make sense from a cognitive science perspective.
Used Monte Carlo simulations in Python with OpenMC to analyze neutron behavior in fusion reactors. Found that octalithium plumbate could be a good breeding blanket material—which was pretty cool to discover.
Looked at what factors influence student dropout rates using linear regression. Got published in the July issue (pages 509-519).
