Physical computing, interactive hardware, and creative design at the intersection of embedded engineering and expressive media.

About Me

I am an Electrical Engineering undergraduate at Columbia University (B.S. 2028) and a Yanai Tadashi Scholar. My core research focuses on machine learning for brain–computer interfaces and biomedical imaging at Columbia’s Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing (LIINC) and the Zuckerman Institute.

Outside the research lab and circuit bench, I am a glassblower. Working with hot glass has shaped how I think about materials, patience, and tactile craftsmanship. I love building things where physical craft and technical systems meet.

Goals for the Class

Have fun with the skills I’ve acquired in research and classes in Electrical Engineering.
