Ripple Watermarking

Nov 2026 – present

An interactive platform demonstrating cryptographically keyed watermarking for AI-generated text. The watermark is statistically undetectable without the key, remains robust to substantial editing, and attributes text to the specific model that produced it with a rigorously controlled false-positive rate. Its Algorithmic Watermarking module extends this to formal mathematics, combining Lean 4 verification with watermark attribution to establish both the correctness and the provenance of AI-generated proofs.

CubeLog

Speedcubing tracker · Aug 2025 – present

A command-line speedcubing timer and solve tracker that computes official WCA averages (ao5/ao12/ao100) with DNF and +2 penalties, tracks improvement trends and personal bests, estimates the odds of beating a target time, and generates HTML progress reports with dependency-free SVG charts.

Program I & Program II

Stanford University Mathematics Camp · 2024, 2025

  • One of 40 students worldwide; abstract algebra & number theory (2024), algebraic topology (2025).
  • Presented on constructible n-gons via field theory (2024) and the Poincaré–Hopf theorem (2025), which you can play with below.

The hairy ball theorem

From my SUMaC II talk. Drag to spin the ball, or grab a glowing cowlick and push it around.

Push a cowlick anywhere you like and the hair re-combs around it, but you can never make it lie completely flat: every continuous tangent field on the sphere vanishes somewhere, so a cowlick always survives. By Poincaré–Hopf, the cowlicks' indices always add up to χ(S²) = 2.

Clover Math

Sponsored by Wolfram & Jane Street · Co-President, 2024 – 2026

  • Co-led a student-run math organization that hosts an annual math competition for 170+ students, sponsored by Jane Street, Wolfram, and Crumbl.
  • Designed competition problems and full written solutions alongside the problem-writing committee.
  • Hosted guest speakers and ran review sessions to help students prepare.
  • Handled event logistics from planning through competition day.

Just for fun!
