About Me

As a student pursuing a BS in Computer Science + Crop Science at UIUC, I am passionate about the intersection of these fields and their potential to address global challenges such as climate change and food production. I have a double minor in chemistry and horticulture, and I have completed courses from applied statistics and computer systems development to digital agriculture, organic chemistry, and plant physiology. My goal is to make a positive impact on the world’s cropping systems by leveraging new and emerging technologies and innovations.

My Research Interest

I am fascinated by the integration of technology in the biological sciences, particularly in crop/plant science and chemistry. More specifically, I am interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence methods to bridge the gap between growers and the most recent innovations in technology to help put food on everyone’s table.
