About
This summer I am joining the Institute of Mathematics at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) as a Bernoulli Instructor. My research interests include mathematical statistics, theoretical machine learning and econometrics.Starting Fall 2026 I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In 2024 I obtained my PhD from the Operations Research & Financial Engineering (ORFE) department at Princeton University where I was advised by Matias Cattaneo. My dissertation was titled Adaptive Nonparametric Statistical Theory and Implementation. I also received my incidental MA in ORFE from Princeton in 2021.
Prior to this, I completed my Bachelors of Science with Honors in Applied Mathematics and Economics at Brown University in 2019. I wrote my undergraduate honors thesis on Energy Aware Optimization of Scalable Load Balancing Strategies under the supervision of Kavita Ramanan.
