I am a postdoc at Microsoft Research New England. Previously, I was a postdoc with the Department of Statistics at Rutgers University and the Department of Statistics at the University of Pennsylvania from 2010 to 2011, supervised by Tong Zhang and Sham M. Kakade. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2010 from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego, where I was advised by Sanjoy Dasgupta. I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering in 2004 from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley.
My research interests are in algorithmic statistics and machine learning.
