Now
(The purpose of a now page.)
I'm currently in Montreal, entering my last year at McGill! I will be moving to New York City next year, to do a pre-doctoral program at NYU Stern's Volatility and Risk Institute, under the supervision of Johannes Stroebel.
Economics
I am working on my undergraduate thesis in network economics. Also looking to learn more about labour economics, and complete a final review session on every core honours course at McGill.
Mathematics
I'll be learning some causal inference this winter semester, which should be fun! My thesis will involve a decent amount of theory, so I won't be straying far from random graphs either.
Skills I want to learn
- Danzon No. 2 on the piano
- Economics research
- Using Vim

Skills I have successfully learnt
- How to enjoy running: I ran a 5K, and plan on running a 10K in the near future!

- Fundamentals of deep learning: Topped the class in COMP 551 - Applied Machine Learning at McGill.
- Skiing: Skiied my first black diamond, the Beaujolais at Mont Blanc, and have skiied other blacks on the ice coast.
