He is primarily focused on AI, cryptography, and software generally. With a background in applied and computational math and a focus in the math of machine learning, Evan brings a quantitative literacy to patent litigation that is uncommon in the legal profession. He is also familiar with the “behind-the-scenes” workings of federal district courts after interning at the Eastern District of Virginia during law school.
Before attending law school, Evan was a Researcher in graph theory and machine learning at Virginia Commonwealth University and a Researcher in quantitative anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution, where he fulfilled a State Department grant for the development of machine learning software for the automatic provenance of tribal artifacts.
Evan has volunteered as a judge for statewide robotics and debate tournaments in Virginia. He is also passionate about diversity, serving on a panel of the Minority Student Achievement Advisory Board of Loudoun County Public Schools while in high school and organizing the 550th Birth Anniversary Celebration of Guru Nanak Devji and Sikh Spiritual Music Concert at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture while in college. Evan continues to volunteer with the Smithsonian’s Cultural Diplomacy Initiative to promote cultural diplomacy programming in DC.
