About me

I’m a doctoral student in mathematics at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Heather Harrington and Ulrike Tillmann. My research interests are at the intersection of topology, geometry, data science, and statistics. I was previously a research assistant working on Bayesian high-dimensional clustering under the supervision of Maria De Iorio at the National University of Singapore.

Here is my CV.

When I’m not doing math, I spend time doing things related to music or fitness (XOR, at least thus far).
