About
I am an Assitant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of ACMS at the University of Notre Dame until August 2025. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago under the supervision of Prof. Rebecca Willett. I completed my Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Prof. Alessandro Rinaldo and Prof. Christopher Genovese.
For Prospective Students
I am looking for new students to join my group. Our group includes members from diverse backgrounds such as applied mathematics, computational physics, machine learning, and statistics.
Research Interests
- Scientific computing in high dimensions
- High-dimensional linear algebra and its applications to machine learning
- Nonparametric estimation in high dimensions
- Change point detection and inference
