I am a third year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at William & Mary, under the supervision of Professor Evgenia Smirni. My research interests fall in the reliability and performance of neural networks, GPUs, and autonomous vehicles. Before coming to William & Mary, I got my B.S. degree as a double major in computer science and mathematics from York College of Pennsylvania in 2016. I got my M.S. degree in mathematics from Syracuse University in 2019 and my M.S. in computer science at William & Mary in 2021. Check out my CV here.
