Interests

I am interested in distributed/parallel programming, computer networking, and graph neural networks. I am mainly insterested in the combination of those topics including applications of graph neural networks in computer systems. I am a Ph.D. student part of the Parallel Systems and Software group at the University of Maryland run by Professor Bhatele.

Past Computer Science Experience

I have been interested in computer science since the middle of high school when I started playing around with game engines like Unity and Game Maker Studio 2. Since then my interests have changed towards the bridge between computer science and computer engineering. After finishing a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Penn State I started a masters degree at UPenn specializing in systems while working full time at Lockheed Martin. Since then I started a Ph.D. at the University of Maryland to continue researching topics I love.

Hobbies

I also enjoy trading card games and video games in my freetime. I play Pokemon TCG competitively, One Piece, and Magic: the Gathering for fun. Best video game ever made: de Blob.
