Hi! I'm a first-year Math PhD student at UIUC and I did my undergrad at UCSD in Computer Engineering and Math. My main interests are in harmonic analysis, functional analysis, and numerical analysis. I also quite like computer architecture and simulation.

Some things I did for fun:

• Here is a derivation for ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{\sin (xn)}{n}$
• I built 2D PIC/FLIP/APIC fluid solvers, below are some simulations:

As an undergrad I interned with Roblox's Physics team three times. I worked on mesh compression, low-level optimizations for aerodynamics simulation, turbulence modeling, and aerodynamic force model improvements.
