I am an undergraduate student at McMaster University in Biology & Mathematics. I am currently interested in probabilistic programming and generic numerical computing, but I previously worked on tooling for transcriptomic experiments.
My undergraduate thesis project is a Stan-like probabilistic programming language embedded in Python using JAX, inspired by Bob Carpenter's blogposts on the topic12. My master's thesis project will be another probabilistic programming language (this time in Rust) that uses macros to rewrite a model with discrete parameters to a Pyro-like intermediate language where all marginalizations are explicit.
