News: In Fall 2023, I will start as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at UT Austin. I am recruiting mathematically mature and driven students for my group — come join our amazing teams at the Texas Theory group and the Institute for Machine Learning !
About me: I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Machine Learning Foundations group at Microsoft Research, Redmond. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Stanford from 2016-2022 (where I was fortunate to be advised by Aaron Sidford ), and my B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science at MIT from 2012-2015. I am broadly interested in fundamental algorithmic problems in modern data science, often in the span of continuous optimization and high-dimensional statistics. I am also passionate about STEM educati
My work has received generous funding from an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship , a Google Ph.D. Fellowship for Algorithms, Optimizations, and Markets, and a VMware Research Fellowship for the Simons Institute Geometric Methods in Optimization and Sampling program.
