Biography
LinkedIn Profile
I graduated from Cornell University in 2025 with Magna Cum Laude honors, earning dual bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Biological Sciences. During my undergraduate studies, I developed a strong research foundation through both mathematical and biomedical research. In mathematics, I conducted research in algebraic topology, strengthening my analytical reasoning and proof-based problem-solving skills. In biomedical research, I applied computational and experimental techniques to analyze biological data, further developing my quantitative and data analysis abilities. I also completed internships at Renaissance Era Investment and ZhenFund, where I applied statistical modeling, Python programming, and data analysis to quantitative research and investment evaluation. As Vice President of the Cornell Venture and Entrepreneurship Club, I led a team of students, organized industry events, and cultivated leadership, teamwork, and communication skills while fostering connections between entrepreneurs and investors. Outside of academics, I have been a passionate soccer fan for over nine years. Following the sport has taught me the importance of patience, strategy, teamwork, and disciplined decision-making, qualities that I strive to bring to both research and investing. After graduation, I aspire to pursue a career in quantitative research, quantitative trading, and quantitative strategy.
