Short Bio

I'm a 3rd-year Ph.D candidate at MIT Mathematics and I'm very fortunate to be advised by Professor Jon Kelner. I obtained my Bachelor and Master in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Professor Gary Miller. My research interests lie at the intersection of theoretical computer science and machine learning, with a specific focus on developing efficient algorithms. I'm particularly excited about problems in optimization, sketching, and differential privacy. Additionally, I am dedicated to enhancing the efficiency of training processes in large-scale machine learning systems.
