Hey ! I’m currently a Research Analyst at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Mathematics working with Bob Carpenter.
My research is focused on (generative, efficient, robust) deep learning and Bayesian statistics (variational inference + Markov chain Monte Carlo).
I like to hack on LLMs, open too many ArXiv tabs, and write open source code. I also train calisthenics and explore NYC.
I graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in Applied Mathematics, though lowkey I mostly studied machine learning.
At Columbia I did research under Itsik Pe’er on reconstructing evolutionary trees of CRISPR-edited cells with hyperbolic optimization. I also did research under David Knowles on determining which genetic variants cause phenotypic traits with variational inference.
I love when people reach out – so please do!
