I'm a senior dog researcher, majoring in Computer Science at Columbia University. My research interests include computational smell* and offline reinforcement learning (i.e., learning new tricks while napping).

In my freetime, I play frisbee, take my advisor and advisee on hikes, and gain weight like there's no tomorrow.

I'm fortunate to be advised by Huy Ha and to mentor the talented Oliver Ha.

* inspired by Professor Carl Vondrick
