About

I am a first-year PhD student at Stanford University. I recently completed my Master’s degree in Computer Science at University of Toronto under supervision by Dr. Nicolas Papernot in the CleverHans Lab and Dr. Marzyeh Ghassemi in the HealthyML lab. Previously, I received my B.S. in Mathematics from University of Southern California, with minors in Chemistry and Computer Science.

Through the past several years, my research interests have spanned statistical learning theory; algorithmic fairness and equity in machine learning; differential privacy; representation learning; optimization; and generalizable applications of machine learning in the healthcare and biological domains. At the moment, I continue to be motivated by a broad range of topics and research questions under the general umbrella of mathematics and machine learning.
