🎓

Top School

Anzo Teh is a PhD candidate in MIT EECS researching empirical Bayes, statistical inference, and information theory under Prof. Yury Polyanskiy, combining deep theoretical work with practical ML and quant experience. He holds a dual degree in Computer Science and Pure Mathematics from the University of Waterloo (Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Scholar) and brings nine years of experience across research and engineering internships at Uber ATG, Cockroach Labs, Waterfront International, Enlighted, Voloridge, and IMC. His background spans dynamic graph algorithms, high-frequency finance models, and compressed neural networks, and he has published substantial speedups for connected-components algorithms during undergraduate research. A former IMO gold medallist and Putnam top-team finisher, he pairs contest-level mathematical creativity with production-minded software contributions (including back-end algorithm implementations on popular open-source repos). Outside research he is a trained pianist who occasionally posts covers on YouTube, reflecting a disciplined yet creative approach to problem solving.
