Happenings
Doctoral Candidate
I am a second-year Computer Science PhD Candidate at Cornell University. I study at Cornell's New York City campus, Cornell Tech. Before that, I was an undergraduate student at Clemson University, where I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science (during the pandemic, unfortunately).
My research interests include computational social science, particularly in issues pertaining to societal inequity; fashion & design; applied computer vision; and human-AI interaction, especially generative-AI-based applications.
Musician, Pianist
I play classical and neoclassical piano music, and write my own 'peaceful piano' compositions since 2020. My compositions are available on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. Streaming services are listed in order of personal preference. I am beginning to score sheet music for my compositions, which can be found here, free to access and download.
