Welcome. I am a Hale Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematics at Georgia Tech, working with Luca Dieci and Sung Ha Kang. I completed my PhD at Tufts University with Abiy Tasissa. My research interests include optimization, inverse problems, and their connections to geometry.

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!
Oct 8, 2024 Drs. Abiy Tasissa, HanQin Cai, and I recently submitted a paper titled “Riemannian Optimization for Non-convex Euclidean Distance Geometry with Global Recovery Guarantees”. See an arXiv link here!
Dec 16, 2023 I recently presented my joint work with Dr. Abiy Tasissa at OPT2023 as a part of NeurIPS. Check out the paper here!
