I am a second-year PhD student in Statistics at the University of Washington. Before that, I completed my BA in Computer Science and BA in Statistics at the University of California, Berkeley, graduating Summa cum laude. At Berkeley, I had the privilege of working with Anil Aswani, Cyrus Dioun, and Haichen Wang, focusing on the application of optimization and deep learning models in sociology, particle physics, and tensor completion.

My research interests span statistical machine learning and optimization. I am deeply interested in developing methodologies and models that offer practical applications while maintaining strong theoretical guarantees. Lately, I have been particularly drawn to adaptive, online, data-driven decision-making and learning algorithms with feedback loops. I am working on bandit algorithms for matrix completion problemsto enhance the robustness and efficiency of recommender systems with Kevin Jamieson.

My protrait on the right was taken by my good friend Li at Lake Tapps Park in Bonney Lake, WA.
