I am a Miller research fellow<\/a> in the mathematics department at UC Berkeley<\/a>. My research is focused on designing computational techniques for solving large-scale problems in machine learning, quantum information, and scientific computing, with a focus on randomized algorithms. I received my PhD in Applied and Computational Mathematics<\/a> from Caltech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been recognized for my work with finalist status for the Hertz foundation fellowship<\/a>, Caltech’s Thomas A. Tisch Prize for Graduate Teaching in CMS<\/a> and W. P. Carey & Co. Prize in Applied Mathematics<\/a>, and the SIAM Student Paper Prize<\/a>. I grateful to have had my PhD research supported by a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thesis Make the most of what you have: Resource-efficient randomized algorithms for matrix computations<\/a><\/em> is available here<\/a>. It is composed entirely of original writing, and it provides a deeper dive into my PhD research written for a general mathematical audience. Check it out!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
