About

I am doing research with Prof. James Lambert focusing on risk analysis. I am currently working on projects for sustainable water management in the middle east and central asia as well as using Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate synthetic supply chain data for semiconductors.

I choose systems engineering because I enjoyed working on a wide variety of research projects in different fields during undergrad, and I especially enjoyed seeing the connections across disciplines. With systems engineering, I get to continue to work in different application domains and explore new projects.

My advice for prospective students would be to get to know your potential advisor as best as possible and be sure to talk to current students in the research group.

Outside of school and research, I enjoy visiting national parks, playing intramurals with the department, board games, and juggling.
