I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, where I am supervised by Prof. Peter Bartlett. In 2022 I earned a Ph.D. from Caltech under the supervision of Prof. Babak Hassibi. My thesis was awarded the Bhansali Family Prize, which is given each year to a single outstanding dissertation in computer science.

Research Interests: Deep learning theory, especially optimization dynamics and fast optimization algorithms; nonconvex optimization; online learning; time-series forecasting and uncertainty quantification; optimal control.
