About Me

Education

I am currently a third year undergraduate student at the University of Florida majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Mathematics.

Future

My plan is to get a Ph.D in computer science, and then work either as an academic or in industry R&D. The reason that I want to continue my education rather than starting a job right out of undergrad is because I enjoy research, and I want to make discoveries that are beneficial to society. I enjoy the experience of learning new things and applying my current skills to solve problems that no one else has considered before.

Some of my favorite quotes:

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” - John Green

“Science fiction is the literature of dreams, and texts concerning dreams always say something about the dreamer, the dream interpreter, and the audience.” - Ken Liu

“I’ve managed to stay in a perpetual state of learning only by maintaining what I think of as a posture of ignorant humility. This humility is as mandatory as arrogance… There is only one way to deal with this humiliation: bow you head, let go of the idea that you know anything, and ask politely of this new machine “How do you wish to be operated?” If you accept your ignorance, once you really admit to yourself that everything you know is now useless, the new machine will be good to you and tell you: here is how to operate me.” - Ellen Ullman

My favorite books at present:

Upgrade - Blake Crouch

Vita Nostra - Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko

Life In Code - Ellen Ullman

Remembrance of Earth's Past (Series) - Liu Cixin

The Library at Mount Char - Scott Hawkins
