WORK
<Tech>
I was introduced to computer science at my tech-focused high school, where I learned fundamental programming skills and published research with the National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI). I learned that I'm drawn to the intersection of art and technology. Now, at Brown, I'm majoring in computer science with a focus on visual computing and AI/ML. I'm also a research assistant with the Brown Visual Computing group. I'm currently working on a team to implement a zero-shot learning system which orients arbitrary 3D objects using geometry processing, physics simulations, and LLM techniques. This summer, I hope to intern in graphics engineering or computer animation.
{Art}
I'm a jazz pianist with roots in classical music. I've been performing for over a decade. At Brown, I'm majoring in music with a focus on jazz performance and composition, and I'm the pianist for Em's Femmes. My style is influenced by folks like Bill Evans, Pharaoh Sanders, and Robert Glasper. I also enjoy exploring the role of technology in music, from music production to algorithmic compositions.
In addition, I started animating this past spring, when I took a 2D Animation course at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). I’m excited to combine this with my passion for technology by studying computer animation soon.
