About

Hello! I’m Zander. I am a PhD student in electrical and computer engineering at Harvard University, where I conduct research in the Edge Computing Laboratory under the advisement of Prof. Vijay Janapa Reddi. My research broadly explores the intersection of computer architecture and machine learning.

Outside the lab, I stay active through competitive Ultimate Frisbee, tennis, golf, skiing, and soccer. When I am not on the field or the slopes, you can usually find me baking, playing video games or chess, and enjoying anything related to The Lord of the Rings.
