I'm Andy, a junior and triple major in math, computer science, and physics.

This summer, I'm working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the EMIT GHG Machine Learning group, developing deep learning models for NO2 & NH3 plume detection.

I've been supported/advised by John Lipor, Chris Cianci, Justin Li, and Joel Walsh on projects and research in machine/deep learning, gaussian processes, physics, statistics, and computational neuroscience.

When I'm not working a problem, you can find me out on the baseball diamond—I'm also a catcher at Occidental.
