About
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Stanford University co-advised by Gregory Valiant and John Duchi. My interests are in the intersection of algorithms, statistics, optimization, and machine learning theory.
I previously interned as a research scientist at DeepMind in London. Before Stanford, I worked with John Lafferty at the University of Chicago. Prior to that, I received an MPhil in Scientific Computing at the University of Cambridge on a Churchill Scholarship where I was advised by Sergio Bacallado. I received a B.S. in Mathematics and B.A. in Chemistry at the University of Chicago.
