About
I'm William, I studied CS Systems and Computer Architecture at Stanford. When I was a kid, my parents took me to The Physics Show, and since then I've always found beauty in the predictive power of physics, leading me to the International Physics Olympiad. My journey in pursuing the beauty in physics has led me to explore AI and hardware, where I hope to one day change the world.
