I am a machine learning scientist with expertise in time series and graph neural networks, currently working at Charles Schwab.
Before, at Pendulum Systems (2023-2025), I worked in research, development and deployment of statistical and machine learning algorithms for solving complex problems in logistics and supply chain, including time series forecasting for demand prediction, recommendation systems for improved client networks, sensor-based navigation in GPS-denied environments, and LLM-driven systems for customer interaction that provide tailored supply-chain planning solutions.
Before that, I worked at Morgan Stanley (2022-2023) in research and development of statistical and machine learning tools for pricing securities (fixed income and equities), leveraging machine learning algorithms for multivariate time series imputation and forecasting of both regular and irregular time series, using tools such as graph neural networks, sequential-based methods, and attention mechanisms.
I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Systems Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania (2020), and an M.A. in Statistics from the Wharton School (2017). I had postdoctoral stints at the University of California, Berkeley (2020/21) and at Rice University (2021/22).
My first journal article on GNNs (published at the end of 2018) received the 2024 IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award, and was also one of the top 25 downloaded articles in 2020 for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. Our work on the stability of GNNs, a major contribution to the theory and understanding of GNNs, has received the 2022 IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award. Our work on multi-agent path planning has received the Cambridge Ring Publication of the Year Award in 2021. Our work on graph recurrent neural networks got the best student paper award in EUSIPCO 2019. I have been awarded the Joseph D'16 & Rosaline Wolf Award for the best dissertation by a male Ph.D. candidate in the ESE department at the University of Pennsylvania.
As of 2024, I have published 23 journal articles in peer-reviewed journals (TPAMI, Proc. IEEE, SPM, TSP, among others), and I have presented my work at over 40 conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICASSP, DSLW, CDC, to name a few). Google Scholar shows my work has more than 2800 citations, with an h-index of 23 and i10-index of 36.
