I study Computer Science at Cornell University.

Last summer, I researched using LLMs for hardware design under Zhiru Zhang funded by an Engineering Learning Initiatives grant. See our report here.

I am working on formal verification of RTL designs for a custom chip as part of Cornell Custom Silicon Systems.
