Brief Bio

I’m an incoming assistant professor at Boston University, joining in the Spring 2026. Broadly, I’m interested in the intersection of databases, compilers, and tensor programming. My work has two main branches. First, I make high performance computing accessible to domain experts through declarative programming coupled with automatic program optimization. Second, I am excited about building systems to support the open-data community. In this vein, I’m currently working on an open-data project called Govscape that provides a modern search interface over millions of government PDFs.

Not Work

Outside of databases, tensors, etc., I spend a lot of time on the following!

Running: I ran my second full marathon this summer in Vancouver, BC! Going forward, I’m interested in and a bit intimidated by trail running.

Gardening: Back in Seattle, my partner and I had a thriving garden, and we’re excited to see how the growing season compares in Boston. Here’s hoping that jalapenos can manage in the Northeast.

D&D/Tabletop RPGs: I think tabletop games are a great way to keep in touch with people and a great excuse to be a bit silly. My group just finished a campaing in “Paleomythic: A Stone Age RPG”, and I’m always excited to hear about new niche RPGs!
