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. In my work, I hope to make high performance computing accessible to domain experts through declarative programming coupled with automatic program optimization. Additionally, I work 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 just ran my first full marathon this summer (shoutout to the North Olympic Discovery Marathon for giving me a happy birthday run bib :) ). Going forward, I’m interested in and a bit intimidated by trail running.

Gardening: Last year, my partner and I had a plot in a local community garden, and we went full bore on a miniature farm. That community garden is going away this year, so we’re slowly testing the patience of our building’s property management w.r.t. grow bags…

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 is about to start playing “Paleomythic: A Stone Age RPG”, and I’m always excited to hear about new niche RPGs!
