Personal News: This summer, I will be writing for Scientific American through the AAAS Mass Media Fellowship! Check-out my writings here.

I am currently a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics advised by Professor MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi at the University of Maryland. I was recently elected to the newly formed AAAI Student Committee.

Broadly, I am interested in approximation algorithms, auction / mechanism design, and game theoretic problems with work published at NeurIPS, AAAI, AAMAS, and ICML. A fundamental theme underlying my research is the application of different concepts of “fairness” to theoretical problems in algorithmic design.

I earned my bachelor's degree in Mathematics with minors in Biology and Cognitive Science from Cornell University in 2019. Following that, I spent a year as a research associate at the Yale School of Medicine under Dr. Hal Blumenfeld before embarking on my graduate studies.
