I study computer science and mathematics at Colby College and computer engineering with an AI focus at Dartmouth College. My research interests span ML systems, theoretical machine learning, hardware verification, and security.

I am currently a Research Fellow at SPAR Research, where I study zero-knowledge proofs for model equality verification and privacy-preserving model authentication. I also work as a Research Assistant at OWLab and HUMANE Lab at Colby College, applying deep learning, optical flow, imputation, and ensemble methods to problems in driving behavior, environmental time series, and multimodal speech processing.

Alongside research, I serve as a Teaching Assistant in the Colby Computer Science Department and president of Colby Hackers.
