Technology has, is, and always will be revolutionizing our world. Of particular interest to me is the vast field of artificial intelligence, from the intricate mathematical and analytical background, to the uncountably many applications. As a fourth-year undergraduate mathematician at the University of Cambridge, I am exploring both the theory and application of this technology. With mathematics, I aim to improve the efficiency of machine learning methods, by combining the analytically and statistically dominated field of machine learning with other branches of mathematics, such as algebra and geometry. I am also currently exploring the applications in glioblastoma prognoses, and the privacy/security aspects in FinTech.

I am very grateful to the Masason Foundation, for providing a platform to connect with like-minded people, and provide opportunities for personal and professional growth.
