Short Bio
Short Bio
I was previously the departmental postdoctoral researcher in the Statistics Department at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. in Machine Learning in 2015 at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Prof. John Lafferty. I have B.S. in electrical engineering and computer science with a minor in mathematics from UC Berkeley. My research studies emerging estimation problems in the analysis of large and complex data and proposes methods that have both scalable computation and strong theoretical guarantees. I am particularly interested in high-dimensional statistics, network data analysis, and machine learning problems with applications in economics.
My research is supported by NSF grant DMS-2113671 and DMS-2311299.
