About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Utrecht University.

Previously, I was a postdoc in the Department of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia, where I enjoyed the mentorship of Young-Heon Kim and Geoffrey Schiebinger. Earlier still, during 2022-2023 I was a CARMIN Visiting Fellow at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques as well as the Institut Henri Poincaré, where I was a participant in the thematic quarter on Geometry and Statistics in Data Sciences.

In 2022, I completed my PhD at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Dejan Slepčev. While at CMU, I was also affiliated with the StatML Group.

My research is primarily in applied analysis and the theory of statistics and machine learning. I am especially fond of optimal transport.

My publications can be found on Google Scholar. My CV is here.

Teaching F2025 at UBC

This semester I taught MATH 604E: "Mathematical Foundations of Machine Learning". This course was offered as a "Network Course" of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences. A course description can be found on the corresponding PIMS website.
