Welcome to my website! I’m a 5th year Ph.D. student at Tufts University, working with Dr. Abiy Tasissa. My mathematical interests are in the general areas of optimization and probability, with my current emphasis being on geometric algorithms for machine learning, as well as a growing interest in computational solutions to inverse problems. Currently, I’m involved in developing fast algorithms for the Euclidean distance matrix completion problem, a relevant problem in sensor network localization, molecular geometry, and dimensionality reduction. I am currently on the academic job market for postdoctoral positions, so if you are interested in working with me feel free to reach out.

| Nov 4, 2025 | This is a delayed update, but Drs. Abiy Tasissa, HanQin Cai, and myself have uploaded a new paper to arXiv titled “Pr ovable Non-Convex Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion: Geometry, Reconstruction, and Robustness”. This paper substantially improves upon our prior publication, and provides a very nice geometric characterization of EDMC specific incoherence. See here! |
