I play the violin and I am part of the Caltech Chamber Music program.


In my spare time, I also play chess and was part of a Caltech team at the Collegiate Chess League. Some chess books I enjoy:

  • Smerdon's Scandinavian: Scandinavian is an openning that I started playing when I was little. This book presents very novel ideas on how to play it which often lead to chaotic and fun games.
  • My 60 Memorable Games: From the great Bobby Fischer, this collection of games are great for understanding the thought process of a world champion.
