Hi! I'm Nahom. I like stats, math, writing, chess, and doing real things for real people.

I grew up in Ethiopia, then went to Yale to study probability because of Norbert Wiener. This was a good reason.

At Yale, I worked with Dr. Sekhar Tatikonda and Dr. Harrison Zhou, received a Tobin Fellowship to design auction systems for the California grid, studied literary translation theory as a Hertog Fellow, and wrote my thesis on the Parisi Formula. I've also been lucky to work on some cool AI research (VLMs, for one of the more fashionable models of today) and briefly moonlighted as a quantitative researcher at a hedge fund.

Currently, I am working on asymmetric coordination.
