I am a fifth-year ACO (Algorithms, Combinatorics & Optimization) Ph.D. candidate at the Georgia Tech ISyE department. I am very fortunate to be advised by Professor Siva Theja Maguluri.
My main research focuses are the following:
Markov chain mixing frameworks for countable state space Markov chains with applications to stochastic processing networks.
Convergence guarantees for Stochastic Optimization algorithms with applications to Stochastic Control and Optimal Transport.
AI reasoning methods for Mathematics and Sciences. I am honored to be part of the Google DeepMind team that won the Silver Medal at IMO 2024 and the Gold Medal at IMO 2025.
Prior to my graduate studies, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Computational Sciences with a concentration in Mathematics & Operations Research at Minerva University.
