Projects
Tirrell Lab Research Aide
Last summer, I worked with Dr. Pam Cai on creating a new form of fully-recyclable, biodegradable plastic that can be synthesized from human hair, animal fur, and seaweed.
R.G. Niederhoffer Quant Intern
Last summer, I interned at R.G. Niederhoffer, a quantitative trading firm. There, I conducted research on straddle options; and developed a program that extracts, analyzes, and displays runtime data for company-wide visibility.
Host of Tech Talk Lounge
In high school, I produced and hosted the Silicon Valley Tech Talk Lounge, where I interviewed notable Silicon Valley business leaders to discuss their work and insights on current events. The show was broadcasted on five Bay Area cable TV channels reaching Atherton, East Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto.
