I am actively seeking internship opportunities, preferably research-oriented, for the summer of 2025, with a focus on compilers, programming languages, and high-performance computing.

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Computer Engineering at Purdue University, with a broad interest in compilers, programming languages, and high-performance computing. I am advised by Prof. Milind Kulkarni. My current research focuses on developing compile-time optimizations for sparse tensor algebra computations, aiming to enhance computational efficiency.
