Bio

I'm a current Junior at Indiana University pursuing dual B.S. degrees in Mathematics and Physics w/ a focus in Computational Physics and minor in Computer Science. I'm passionate about abstract thinking and creatively applying quantitative methods and theory to solve tricky puzzles. Having grown up in Indonesia, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and now the U.S, I maintain a global perspective and a love for diverse culture, intellectual approach, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
