I am a second-year Ph.D. student at the Theory Group of 🍌UC Santa Cruz where I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Vaggos Chatziafratis. My research interests lie in the intersection of Theoretical Computer Science and Machine Learning, primarily the theoretical aspects of Contrastive Learning.

I used to play in competitive programming (ICPC, and more), although Large Language Models are definitely stronger than me now!
