PhD Student · McGill University

I am a PhD student in compilers and compiler optimization at McGill University, where I started in January 2026. I received my BEng in Software Engineering from McGill in 2024.

My research focuses on equality saturation and its applications to compiler optimization, particularly in the context of MLIR-based compilers.
