I believe innovation flows from and replenishes the surplus that drives humanity forward - I aspire to grow that surplus. I'm energized by difficult problems. In my academics, I’m exploring how the same tools used to analyze stars or magnets can help predict protein folding. Beyond school, I'm fascinated by problems spanning business, technology, and healthcare.When I’m not thinking about molecular orbitals or SWOT analyses, I'm a passionate pianist, snowboarder, poker player, and an avid fan of NBA basketball. As a Bay Area native, my loyalty to the Golden State Warriors remains unwavering.
