About me

I’m a first year PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University studying statistics and machine learning. Previously, I studied mathematics and computer science at UCLA.

Research

I’m extremely lucky to be advised by Aaditya Ramdas at CMU. Currently, I am working on problems related to sequential change detection, multiple testing, and conformal prediction. You can find my papers here.

I’m also working with Mikael Kuusela at CMU and scientists from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at NASA analyzing land surface temperature data from the ECOSTRESS mission.

Lately, I have also been very interested in the theory of optimal transport — see some of my (incomplete) related notes here.

Other stuff

Outside of the time I spend doing math, I play Indian classical music on the Bansuri flute. I also run marathons, bike long distance, and hike glacier mountains supporting Asha for Education (please donate here!), and I volunteer for the Crisis Text Line as a Crisis Counselor (donate here!).

I’ve been known to watch TV shows, read books, and play video games with friends in my spare time. I recently read Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson — both excellent series that I highly recommend. I also recently enjoyed watching Severance.
