I am a researcher in the machine learning department at NEC Labs North America. I am broadly interested in algorithm development for core ML with theoretical guarantees, and particularly interested in developing sound theory for data-centric AI.

I completed my PhD in mathematics at Stanford University in 2023, co-advised by James Zou and Lexing Ying.
