I am a current Quantitative Researcher at Squarepoint Capital and a recent PhD graduate from Princeton University. During my PhD, I was very fortunate to be advised by Ben Raphael, with whom I tackled problems in phylogenetics and machine learning.

In detail, I applied linear and convex optimization techniques to large-scale phylogenetic problems in cancer evolution (fastBE) and ancestral reconstruction (tree labeling polytope). In my final year, I applied similar tools to design constant-factor approximation algorithms for low-rank optimal transport. I also worked on a handful of practical problems during my PhD. Most notably, I designed a tool for CRISPR guideRNA design that played a very small role in correcting a disease-causing genetic variant in a seven month-old patient, see the New York Times coverage of the story.
