UC Irvine Undergraduate Student
Mathematics, Quantitative Economics, and Systems
I study Applied & Computational Mathematics and Quantitative Economics at UC Irvine. In a MATLAB project, I used dynamic programming to value a card game instead of treating it as a puzzle. In photography, I keep returning to grids, barriers, and race infrastructure because they make systems visible. I am still tracing how mathematical models, policy rules, and operational environments change the decisions people make.
Selected Work
Papers, MATLAB coursework, and selected photographs.
Quantitative Modeling
A MATLAB project using dynamic programming to value an optimal stopping card game.
Economics & Policy Analysis
A WRITING 60 paper on zero-tolerance mandates, discretionary discipline, and the educational costs of suspension.
Visual Work
A selected set of photographs studying movement, infrastructure, light, and constructed environments.
Economics & Policy Analysis
An academic writing sample on residential segregation, neighborhood resources, and health inequality.
Academic Direction
My academic path starts with quantitative economics and mathematical modeling. I look for places where rules become visible: a suspension policy, a card-game recursion, a race grid, or a production system.
The next stage is practical: publish source files, build a small data project, and turn more of the reasoning into work that someone else can inspect.
Experience & Leadership
Current
Undergraduate student studying quantitative economics, mathematical modeling, policy writing, and systems.
Summer 2026
Expected focus includes operations, manufacturing systems, supply chain strategy, and cross-functional business analysis.
Leadership
Supports student orientation, logistics, planning, community programming, and coordination for international student community building.
