 I am a student in the BCS-ICS (second Bachelor's in Computer Science) program at the University of British Columbia. Before this, I studied Mathematics and Music at McGill University.
 
-My current interests include **automated reasoning**, formal verification, programming language theory, probabilistic models of computation and decision theory. I am interested in investigating the applicability of these concepts to **safe and explainable AI**.

-I am fortunate to have worked with [Dr. Alex Summers](https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~alexsumm/) at the University of British Columbia on the [Viper](https://www.pm.inf.ethz.ch/research/viper.html) project, and with [Dr. Mina Tahmasbi Arashloo](https://mina.arashloo.net/) at the University of Waterloo on network performance analysis. I previously worked as a long-term research assistant and lab manager at the UBC Vision Lab with [Dr. James Enns](https://psych.ubc.ca/profile/james-enns/), where I helped develop studies on action-perception theory, social psychology and object perception.

 Outside of this, I have worked as a software developer in scientific research, from full-stack development to implementation of DSP algorithms and statistical analyses.
