Hello, I'm Ellen

I'm currently studying CS/AI and Math at Stanford. I research at the Prakash Lab, where I tinker on nature-inspired ML for automated malaria diagnostics, and interning at comma.ai.

My research interests lie broadly in novel ML architectures, reinforcement learning, evolutionary reasoning, and computer vision.

In a past life, I developed the first image-based screening tool for Kawasaki disease, competed on the national champion team for the world's largest cybersecurity competition, and placed 5th internationally in cadet saber fencing. I also enjoy writing poetry, puzzling, running marathons, flying, and marveling at beautiful domes :)
