I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the CMS department at Caltech, under the supervision of Venkat Chandrasekaran. My main interests are global optimization and in particular applications of convex optimization. Much of my work relates complicated nonconvex optimization problems with an algebraic structure to tractable convex optimization problems.
I am currently on the job market, seeking tenure track faculty positions. My research statement is available here.
I received a PhD in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization at Georgia Tech, where I was grateful to be advised by Greg Blekherman.
My thesis is available here
Prior to starting a PhD, I was a full-time software engineer at Google.
