CHRISTOPHER SIMS

currently,

I'm a third year undergraduate at the University of Southern California, studying applied math and computer science. I'm interested in machine learning, forecasting, software engineering, and statistical analysis.

My relevant coursework includes mathematical statistics, probability theory, data structures, algorithms, advanced linear algebra, discrete mathematics, financial investments, and multivariable calculus.

Outside of academics, I enjoy learning Mandarin, playing soccer, chess, and poker, weightlifting, and reading.

Please feel free to reach out to me on X or email (clsims@usc.edu)! I love meeting new people and talking about interesting things :)
