I studied how neural networks build representations, from broad patterns to fine-grained features.
Hello! I’m a machine learning engineer based in the Bay Area. I currently work at Applied Materials, where I develop deep learning models to simulate and optimize semiconductor manufacturing processes.
I have a master’s in Statistics from Columbia University and a bachelor’s in Biology and Data Science from Dartmouth College.
I enjoy hiking, tide pooling, dancing, and cooking. And the occasional birding.
