Computer science and mathematics at NYU Courant, class of 2029

I’m in my second year at NYU. I began independent research on financial markets in 2025, and this summer I was a Solution Engineer Intern at Microsoft in Shanghai. The projects below are from 2026; each links to a short page with more detail.

Research

  1. Near-high signals in crypto futures

    paper trading

    A pre-registered signal search across 55 crypto futures; not yet validated.

  2. Auditing my own backtests

    ongoing

    Four accepted results withdrawn; each flaw became an automated check.

  3. Prediction markets research

    ongoing

    Pre-registered questions on Polymarket and Kalshi prices: most closed, four still open.

  4. Closing-line value in football betting

    closed

    Beating one bookmaker’s opening odds: a pre-registered test on 14 new leagues found no edge.

  5. Stock perpetual futures

    study closed

    Weekend moves in stock perpetuals did not predict Monday’s session.

Software

  1. Finding highlights in long videos

    internship

    At Microsoft: choosing which parts of a long video a large model sees.

  2. Xiake 霞客

    prototype

    A travel guide organized around routes: seven routes, 103 stops.

Currently

Head of Operations at NYU Blockchain Lab (since September 2026).

This semester: real analysis, abstract algebra, discrete mathematics, and data structures in Java.
