I'm a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Andrej Risteski and Nick Boffi. Prior to CMU, I was an undergraduate at Georgia Tech, where I worked on applied math with Florian Schäfer.

My research interests are in problems spanning machine learning, statistics, and applied mathematics. I'm particularly interested in designing efficient numerical algorithms for generative modeling, sampling, and statistical inference. See these high-level summaries for details about my work.

I am best reached via email.
