I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at UC Davis.
My research is a mix of theoretical computer science, statistics, probability, and data science. More specifically: Math of data science: what are the optimal algorithms for finding a hidden structure buried in random noise, and under what conditions is this even possible? Computational complexity of statistical inference, particularly in the low-degree polynomial model of computation Connections between Bayesian inference and statistical physics Problems involving group actions (e.g. determining 3-dimensio
