I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization program at Georgia Tech, advised by Jake Abernethy. I received my B.S. at Yale and my M.S.E. at Princeton.
My work is in theoretical machine learning, with a focus on optimization and convergence of game dynamics. I have also worked in a number of related areas, such as differential privacy, robust estimation, regression, and online learning. I interned at Google Research in NYC in the summer of 2018.
