I escaped in 1990, covered in bits of physics and astronomy; some still remain attached. I ended up doing scientific informatics mostly after that, barring a 14-month bike trip. I thought it might be fun to meet up and hear the stories and experiences of other Caltech alumni/students. I have a small backyard to hang out in (hopefully weather permits) and can make a campfire later on. I’m also half a block from the Rhine River which would be another option for hanging out. I’m not a stellar chef, so, potluck or BYOB. I have a BBQ in case someone wants to grill something, and I can make decent chocolate chip cookies.

I earned my PhD in mathematics from Caltech in 2015, where my research focused on problems related to physics. Outside of research, I loved exploring the San Gabriel Mountains through hikes and scenic drives, as well as taking longer hiking trips to national parks. Somewhere along the way, I developed an interest in finance, which eventually led me to my current role as a quantitative researcher at a hedge fund. I’m looking forward to having you over for dinner at my condo in the Financial District!
