Iā€™m a sixth-year PhD student working with George Porter. My academic interests include datacenter networking, traffic control, environmental computing, and ecological conservation.

I received B.S. and M.Eng. degrees in Computer Science at Cornell University.

My personal interests include hiking, boardgames, and tea! I also volunteer at the California Wolf Center, performing animal care.
