I am a graduate student working with Stephanie Weirich in the Computer and Information Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania. I am a member of the Penn PL Club.
My current research interests focus mainly on mechanized metatheory for programming languages. I am also interested in practical programming with dependent types, logic, type theory, and programming languages in general.
