About Me
I am a PhD student at MIT Media Lab supervised by Prof. Ramesh Raskar. My research makes theoretical advances in multi-agent simulations and distributed computation. My work has been published in leading simulation venues, received multiple best paper awards, resulted in 25 patents and cited by 1000+ academic papers. Prior to MIT, I was an engineer at Adobe where I received the Outstanding Young Engineer Award for my work on collaborative systems. To learn more about my research:

Research Overview
I develop Large Population Models , a new computational framework that enables simulating and understanding how networks of interacting agents combine to shape collective outcomes.
