Bio

Hello! I am a software engineer working on machine learning tools for Google in New York City.

In May 2022 I graduated from Cornell in Ithaca NY with my PhD in Computer Science - my concentration was scientific computing and machine learning, and my dissertation is titled “Fast Kernel Matrix Approximations by Series Expansions”. My research focused on developing fast efficient algorithms based on analytic and algebraic methods to process linear systems arising from discretizing kernel functions in domains with very large amounts of data (for example, factoring million by million matrices).

In 2016 I graduated from NYU with a BA in Mathematics and Computer Science. I’m also halfway through training for my private pilot’s license, a guitar and piano player, an avid cinephile, and a fan of road trips and skiing! On this site, you can learn about my current and past research, publications, projects, and education, as well as some blog posts and other interests. I haven’t really been updating it in recent years, but I like holding onto the domain name.
