hi there! i'm luisa, but you knew that already.

a couple quick facts: raised in peru, favorite color green, currently playing tears of the kingdom, really into slab climbs and minecraft let's plays, #1 book is the three body problem, followed by freedom by jonathan franzen, i own a pi creature from 3b1b named pretzel, i crochet and knit (but better at crochet), and i'm pretty decent at chess.

i study cs & math, am quite equally liking both. research wise, i'm broadly into the field of machine learning, both theory and application. on the theory side, i think a lot about geometric deep learning and probabilistic inference. on the application side, i'm interested in computational chemistry and biology.

and that's me. toss me a fun fact, and i'll throw one your way too.

here, a fun fact: there is a village in puno, peru where the urus people live on floating structures made of a straw-like plant on lake titicaca, moving every decade or so after constructing new islands. you can also eat the plant they use to build - it's crunchy and a bit sweet, kind of like munching on a sugar cane. see the wikipedia page on lake titicaca.

why \( \tau \) for the website logo? well, because it sounds like my chinese name, 韬.
