About

I'm a postdoc working with Ryan Adams in the Harvard Intelligent Probabilistic Systems (HIPS) group and Bob Datta in the Datta Lab in Neurobiology at the Harvard Medical School.

My research interests lie broadly in machine learning, statistics, and optimization.

I was a Ph.D. student in EECS at MIT. I worked with Alan Willsky in the Stochastic Systems Group, which is part of LIDS and also strongly connected to CSAIL. My thesis committee included Ryan Adams, David Blei, and Tommi Jaakkola.

I was an undergraduate in EECS at UC Berkeley, where I worked with Martin Wainwright and Dan Garcia.

I am married to the wonderful and lovely Lily Johnson (that's us at the top!).
