👋 Hi, I'm Stella!

I'm an incoming PhD student in Technology & Operations Management @ Harvard Business School. Broadly, I'm interested in the discovery and diffusion of knowledge and innovation—particularly how data, AI, and science facilitate these processes.

Whether debugging code or sharing life philosophies, I enjoy learning from the unique perspectives of those around me. In my free time, I organize hikes, jog through cities, explore new coffee shops, and play movie soundtracks on the piano.

I recently graduated with a degree in Data Science @ UC Berkeley. During my time there, I started Berkeley's chapter of Peaks & Professors, worked on AI and innovation research, hosted speaker events, and taught econometrics.

Previously, I worked at Amazon, NASA, and Apex146. I've also been involved in research projects at the Data Innovation and AI Lab @ Berkeley Haas, D^3 @ HBS, Computational Approaches to Human Learning Lab @ Berkeley, and Sensory Systems and Behavior Lab @ UCSB.
