About me

Hi! I am a first-year Ph.D. student in computer science at Columbia University, advised by Alexandr Andoni, Adam Block, and Daniel Hsu. Previously I was a undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania, where I worked with Surbhi Goel and Nikolai Matni.

I am broadly interested in the theoretical foundations of machine learning, reinforcement learning, and language modeling.
