Hi! I'm a master's student at UMass Amherst studying computer science. Previously, I was an undegraduate studying computer science and linguistics. My academic interests currently include topics such as algorithms, human-computer interaction (particularly social computing), and reverse engineering/vulnerability research. I was previously an undergraduate research assistant at the UMass Amherst Phonetics Lab. Fluent in English and Russian. My favorite phoneme is ʔ (the glottal stop).

On the personal side my interests include a wide variety of things such as tennis, travel, and beverages of all sorts (such as yeunyung). Recently, I have become really interested in films (expect a blog post about it soon!). I listen to most genres of music, some of my favorite being jazz, hip-hop, and rock.
