About Me
I’m a senior in Mathematics and Computer Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
I pursue a rigorous, theoretical training in math and CS but I strive to solve pragamatic problems with real world significance.
Research Statement
I’m passionate about scientific computing, especially in numerical and data-driven approach to solve dynamical systems. I’m interested had exprience in solving problems arising from climate science. More broadly, I’m not only interested about computation but I’m also concerned about interpretability. Numerical methods often stems from rigorous mathematical/physical framework while data-driven approaches largely remains enigmatic. I look forward to bridge the gap.
