I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Cornell University under the supervision of Chris De Sa, visiting MPI this year. In summer 2022 and 2023, I worked with Robert Gower at the Flatiron Institute, Center for Computational Mathematics. In 2020, I received my MSc degree in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, where I was advised by Mark Schmidt. I am interested in developing optimization algorithms for large-scale machine learning.
