I am a senior HBSc student at the University of Toronto (UTSC), pursuing a Physics and Mathematics Specialist with a Minor in Statistics (former Biochemistry Major). My academic journey is driven by how mathematical structures underpin the physical world and how computational tools model complex systems.
Background
- Mathematical Analysis: Real & Complex Analysis, Functional Analysis, Topology, Axiomatic Set Theory
- Modeling: ODE/PDE, Stochastic Processes, Convex & Linear Optimization, Numerical Methods
- Scientific Computing: Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas), R, MATLAB
- Physics: Quantum Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Classical Mechanics, Thermal Physics
- Life Sciences: Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry
Beyond the classroom I am a software enthusiast. I build full-stack web applications, automated pipelines, developer tools, and interactive visualizations. I enjoy translating complex scientific concepts into interactive code.
