my first math paper is published!! very grateful to my co-authors & the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics for lifting me up. fun fact: my Erdős number is now 2 😊
fun startup story: a Harvard MBA once tried convincing two of my engineering friends (who built the entire app) to give him 95% equity because he was the “ideas guy”
"We find that funds with facial unattractive managers outperform funds with attractive managers by over 2% per annum. We next show that good-looking managers attract significant higher fund flow..."

graduated from MIT with bachelor’s degrees in mathematics & computer science—overwhelming love & gratitude to the school that redefined my limits & redrew my trajectory. the best years of my life (so far!) ❤️
in third grade my classmates would say i was the “second-smartest” because there was one boy who could do multiplication tables faster than me
anyway now he’s a trader at citadel & im unemployed
my roommates have recently discovered the term “wmaf” & now they’re excitedly pointing out all the wmaf couples on the street like they're playing the license plate game
As a grad student, Liyang Chen spent a year working out how to carve a nanowire that’s thinner than a single bacterium. Using the wire, Chen helped show that the metal it’s made from — and others like it — may carry electrical charge without electrons.
My friends and I built a bot that mass-applies for jobs. Upload your information once and apply to hundreds of companies, including smaller places you may not have heard of. If you’re seeking software engineering new grad or intern roles, join our beta by commenting “go” 🙂

this couldn’t have happened this morning at MIT — we don’t have class today. where did you find this video? it looks like a lecture recording
i’m tired of dating app conversations that never lead to anything, so my friends & i spent the last week building a platform that schedules dates as soon as you match.
if you want to fall in love irl & not through a screen, join us at ❤️
why are awkward ugly nerds in the movies always getting into princeton or inventing facebook or something... we need more representation for awkward ugly nerds who are ALSO stupid
I was holding my two year old daughter on a walk moments ago and for the first time out of nowhere she said,
“I’m in the arena trying stuff.”
I started to quietly tear up. She couldn’t see my face, but she said, “Some will work, some won’t. But always learning.”
I was holding my two year old daughter on a walk moments ago and for the first time out of nowhere she said,
“God is good. God is real.”
I started to quietly tear up. She couldn’t see my face and I didn’t make a sound, but she said,
“Don’t cry. It’s okay.”
anybody who wants STEM students to take humanities requirements has not suffered from the presence of that one smug physics major playing devil’s advocate in a philosophy seminar. don’t inflict that on more people
@R0b0tSp1der
very strong at c++ & low-latency performance. if you’re interested in learning more, i suggest checking out 6.172 on MIT OCW, watching cpp con videos, doing codeforces, making personal projects
