I have worked on research in algebraic and analytic number theory, mentored by world renowned number theorists Dr. Ken Ono and Dr. Daniel Goldston. With support from the Foundation, I’m excited to continue my research with mathematicians around the world and also study computer science and public policy at Stanford University this year. I hope to later go to law school and pursue a career in tech policy, ethical AI, and tech regulation. In addition, I’m working on expanding my art gallery and outreach. Currently, through teaching and public speaking, I strive to create a world where gender minorities in STEM are treated equitably. As a member, I want to launch a mentorship program to encourage gender minorities in STEM and host various academic workshops for children in underserved areas. I am so honored to be a Foundation member, and I’m very excited for future collaborations.
