About Me

I am an ARC Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology, working with Siva Theja Maguluri and Sahil Singla.

Prior to joining Georgia Tech, I completed my Ph.D. in the ECE department at The University of Texas at Austin, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Sanjay Shakkottai and Constantine Caramanis.

Before that, I received my bachelor’s degree from Duke University, where I graduated with majors in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics. During my time there, I had the great fortune of working with Ben Lee on designing economically sustainable algorithms for datacenter-level computational sprinting, Richard Fair on designing digital microfluidic devices capable of manipulating cells within a droplet, and Nick Buchler on using CRISPR technologies to create cells which perform logical operations.

Research Interests

My interests lie broadly in the design and analysis of stochastic optimization and sequential decision-making algorithms. I am particularly interested in:

• The power and limitations of adaptive optimization algorithms (i,ii)
• Fairness in sequential decision-making, and decision-making in the presence of biased feedback
• Online algorithms (e.g., prophet inequalities) and learning with limited information and dynamic feasiblity constraints
