I am a postdoc at the Institute for Advanced Study and jointly a senior postdoc at Princeton University. I am generously supported by an NSF CI Fellowship. In the fall, I will be joining MIT as an Assistant Professor of Applied Math and a member of CSAIL! I am interested in algorithms and learning and a major goal in my research is to give algorithms with provable guarantees for various problems in machine learning. Often, these problems are solved in practice through a variety of heuristics -- Can we give a theoretical explanation for why these algorithms are so successful? For more information, see my publications.
