Academic-ish Stuff

I’ve done a bunch of projects and independent research as part of my coursework at Princeton. This page has my posters, hastily written reports, and relevant links for projects I worked hard on and would like to see the light of day – with the caveat that some are definitely incomplete, scrappy, or otherwise works in progress :))
