About

I completed my Master of Science at the University of Toronto, where I was advised by Ningning Xie.

My main interest is Programming Languages. During my Master's program, I worked on:

  • Type Systems, Type Inference
  • Algebraic Effects, Effect Handlers

Programming Languages is still my main interest. I want to branch out into other areas such as:

  • Denotational Semantics
  • Mechanized Proofs

I am also broadly interested in Mathematics. I have some basic background in:

  • Logic, Category Theory
  • Algebra, Topology
