I am currently a Graduate student at UCSC advised by Prof. Razvan Marinescu, my research involves developing atmospheric and planetary simualtions for Mars and Earth's Ocean. I am also curious about Agentic AI for scientific tasks and the safety of AI systems. In the past I was a software engineer building mobile applications and scaling backend systems.

Life outside the lab
I am an ocean lover at heart, hoping to conquer every wave and dive into every depth. When I'm not in the water, you can find me enjoying soccer, beaches, running or swimming or just enjoying a sunny day.
