I recently joined the CS Department at Cornell as an Assistant Professor. If you are interested in working with me, feel free to reach out! ⓘ I can't guarantee a reply to every email. I do not have the capacity to supervise remote internships.
I study the interplay between optimization, machine learning, and dynamics in real-world systems. My research focuses on understanding the fundamentals of data-driven methods for control and decision-making, inspired by applications ranging from robotics to recommendation systems.
