PhD Pre-Candidate, Full CV
Computer Science and Engineering
University of Michigan
I am a first-year computer science PhD student at the University of Michigan where I am advised by Westley Weimer.
Broadly, my research is at the intersection of software engineering and human factors. In
particular, I am interested in reducing computing barriers for both novice and expert
programmers, especially through the lenses of program comprehension, education, and diversity. My
recent work involves building a tool that automatically provides input-related hints to novice programmers by
using a novel template-based automatic program repair algorithm to fix erroneous inputs.
When I'm not working on research, I enjoy cooking, reading,
traveling, hiking, and doing anything corgi related. I also play cello, and I'm
always up for improvising and swapping music recommendations!
Academic Highlights
- August 2018: Started PhD at the University of Michigan: Funded through a first-year fellowship
- May 2018: Graduated with Highest Honors from The University of Michigan: BS, Computer Science and BM, Cello Performance
- May 2013: Started Undergraduate at the University of Michigan: Jean Fairfax Scholar, Charlie and Nancy B. Sunday Scholar
Automatic Input Repair
Around a third of all novice Python programs contain a call to standard input. These inputs can be
surprisingly complex and can contain bugs. However, modern programming hint generators usually consider only the source code
when identifying and fixing errors. With this work, I aim to understand input structures and and fix erroneous inputs
for unique novice programs.
Software Tools
InFix: A tool for automatically repairing erroneous inputs for novice Python programs. Hopefully soon to be open source.

Computer Science Courses: Design Experience
University of Michigan
-
EECS 490: Programming Languages (Fall 2016 - Winter 2017): I was a TA for the course the first time it was offered in 10 years, and in
the subsequent semester, I worked with the instructor, Dr. Amir Kamil, on course development, analysis, and improvement.
