About me
I am a currently a Member of Technical Staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Prior to that, I worked in AI/ML modeling at JPMorgan Chase. I received my PhD from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan in 2022, where I was advised by Professor Laura Balzano.
My research focuses on unsupervised machine learning, statistical signal processing, and optimization. I design and analyze new algorithms for problems with big messy data, developing methods with principled modeling techniques and theoretical guarantees. I have applied my work across a diverse range of real applications that spans signal processing, computer vision, medical imaging, banking, environmental sensing, and more. My favorite problems include
- Nonconvex matrix and tensor factorization
- Optimization on Riemannian manifolds
- Online algorithms and low-dimensional models
- Heteroscedastic noise models
- Corrupted and noisy data with missing entries
- Semidefinite programming
