I am a Software Engineer at Pinecone on the AI Inference team, where I work on productionizing ML models for inference and building infrastructure for model serving and vector search workflows. Previously, I graduated from Princeton University (2020-2024) with a B.S.E in Computer Science and a minor in Statistics and Machine Learning, earning Summa Cum Laude honors.

During my time at Princeton, I conducted research in machine learning interpretability and algorithmic ML fairness methods with a focus in visual systems. I was fortunate to be advised by Professors Vikram Ramaswamy, Ruth Fong, and Andrés Monroy-Herández. My senior thesis, advised by Prof. Vikram Ramaswamy, focused on creating synthetic data for geographically diverse image datasets with diffusion models.

I also served as President and Lead Software Engineer of TigerApps, Princeton's student-run software incubator, where I oversaw a suite of 15 apps serving over 6000 users.

For fun, I love basketball (playing and watching), biking, and exploring + reviewing new restaurants! I have over 400 ratings on Beli 🍽️! You can reach me at askelch@gmail.com 📧.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

A. Einstein, B. Podolsky, and N. Rosen

Phys. Rev., May 1935

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
