Research & Projects
Rocket flight simulation
A computational model of rocket ascent I developed, tested, and interpreted: Euler and Runge–Kutta solvers validated against analytical cases, a burn-time sensitivity study, and a 2,000-run Monte Carlo analysis of peak altitude. Ongoing work toward the 2026–27 science fair season.
Human TF Atlas reanalysis
Co-authored preprint reanalyzing the Human Transcription Factor Atlas — 3,550 TF ORFs across 254,519 single cells — with Dr. Umesh Sharma (Mayo Clinic). arXiv:2604.02511 · code
Summer 2026
Attended the inaugural cohort of Cornell Tech’s Summer Innovation Intensives (Future Builders Studio, Roosevelt Island). Also selected for the Purdue STEP and Michigan Math & Science Scholars summer programs.
Leadership & Teaching
Founded my school’s AMC Math Olympiad Club and its International Research Olympiad Club. Through Mini-Ivy, taught STEM to elementary students and collaborated with Princeton undergraduates on math and Python curriculum. Data-engineering intern at Linde (2025): cleaned live materials-pricing data and built a price-prediction model.
Music
Trumpet, self-taught since 2018 — learned from YouTube and practice. Selected by audition (1 of 6 from my school) for the 2025 Dwight Global Concert in Shanghai. Audition recording coming to this page soon.
